Wikis

A few of the library wikis were overwhelming. The links on the wikis were not always clear regarding the direction in which they were going. There were a few links that led me to library catalogs, but I'm not sure why. Also, I am so used to using Wikipedia that it kind of threw me off when several of the library wikis looked like Wikipedia, just with different subject matter.

In the future, I can see libraries using wikis for book clubs. This would be a great way for customers within a library system to connect with one another and share their thoughts. Libraries could have a variety of book club books from which to choose, and as customers read the book of their choice, they can post information on a wiki.
