THING #10

Back after a short hiatus. How can we depend on wikis if anyone can edit the information? I edited the 23 things wiki and found it very easy to do. The book lovers wiki was great...it was a good lead-in to the Princeton Library which was very interesting. They are having a Guitar Hero program for teens with prizes for the best score and best rock star outfits...how cool is that.
So we could certainly start a book lovers wiki for our libraries as a "door" to our services.

Wikis are interesting to use in libraries, and yes, anyone can edit them, but there could be great tips people could post, too!

And, I like the book lovers wiki, but for book clubs and things like that, I tend to like the use of blogs more. Like this library does:
http://www.wplbookclub.blogspot.com/

That way, not everyone can edit everything, but people can leave comments about the book club book, and you could use features of the blog, like polls, to do some interesting interactions with users.
