Week 5: Wikis

This has really been an interst week and exposed me to a technology that before now I had never really used.

SJCPL Subject Guide wiki - I found the St Joseph County Public Library site very interesting and informative.

The Full Library Success: A best practices wiki - I could have spent hours going through the huge amount of information this site has to offer and it was easy to use, I have also discovered that Learning 2.0 continues with Learning 2.1.

Book Lovers Wiki - which is Princeton Public Library has the bases of being a very good site although there is not a lot of information in it as it was finished in 2006. The link to Read Around the World has much more information.

After looking at the Wookieepedia site, and being a Lord of the Rings fan, I found that there is a wiki for LOTR, this is a site that I may contribute to.

The Book Lovers Wiki would be a good example to use in our own library as patrons could submit their favourite books and series.
