Share things, learn more. Good idea, but how accurate is the information if everyone and anyone can tweak it? The success of wikis will depend, I guess, on the comfort level of the user accessing the information.
I can see how library wikis can be useful. Our BCPL Virtual Book Club could be a wiki. How about the statewide training program for new librarians? Since this would be accessed by learners and their trainers almost exclusively not too many folks out of libraryland would be much interested in playing tricks here. How about a Readers Advisory wiki of recommendations for special hard-to-please populations like reluctant teen readers? Teachers and other educators could contribute.
About Me
- Janet
- I was a full time public librarian for 30 years, now I'm semi-retired and like to fool around with computers, audio equipment, and home remodeling projects. I volunteered at a college radio station for seven years and played lots of progressive music similar to what Aural Moon plays and had great fun. I also volunteer at the Maryland State Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, and can use my library skills there as well.
