Wikis

I just took a look at several wikis and they are pretty neat. I tend to like things to be very organized, so I don't know if it would completely suit my tastes, but I still think it could be used effectively in a library setting. I like the "Book Lovers Wiki", where people can post readers' advisory information. That could be very useful to patrons and it would give them a sense of involvement as well! I also like the idea of having wikis among staff members. Staff could collaborate and share ideas without having to meet in person. This would be useful for staff members who do not attend regular meetings or who are not in specific committees that meet on a regular basis.
