Book Lovers Wiki, developed by the Princeton Public Library is a great way for locating leisure reading material. So often, I wander around a library browsing the shelves for new authors to read. It is similar to asking a librarian for best picks; as well as providing me the opportunity of telling others about a great book I just read.
Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki, although a bit visually unappealing, it is a good example of how a member of a Wiki are able to produce very informational data without the worry of finding the appropriate person to place it on the web. Very different from “…a conventional encyclopedia, where editors have to find experts for different subject areas, and nothing gets published without their say-so, anybody can write a wikipedia entry.”
Having an interface which enables staff members access to a wiki account, owned by the entire library, will help increase communication between staff.
