Wikipedia and Wikis

Contributing to the Wikis is like a group brainstorming session. Everyone has the opportunity to contribute their ideas and information e.g. German website for Wikipedia being more accurate than some published sources is amazing.



I selected the following Wikis to look at:
SJCPL Subject
Great for having explanations of different subject categories for the library e.g. Biographies and examples of books, resources in the collection.

Book Lovers Wiki
Wonderful idea for bookclubs with reviews and if the individual is shy can be anonymous. I've held bookclubs and this extends the posting of reviews on the library website with more comments.

Wookieepedia
For the Star Wars Fans. Up to date information e.g. new TV series coming up in August 2008. Star Wars if always popular for borrowers.

Good comment on wikis - and I guess that is their strength - the combined input!
