# 18 Wikis

Wikis appear to present a myriad of powerful possibilities. Eg:

1)      Collaborative subject guide, involving library patrons

2)      Adding wiki functionality, through patron recommendations, within catalogues

3)      Staff projects Eg. Development of library procedures

4)      Collecting blogs ideas. See: http://teacherlibrarianwiki.pbworks.com/Links+to+our+blogs

I can see an immediate use in encouraging students to share their recommendations according to genre, so that we can track the type of genre our students are enjoying.

I especially like the wiki-Library Success – http://www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Main_Page

That was set up for ALA to encourage the library community to share their success stories. The links to online training courses could be very useful. http://www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Online_Training_Resources_for_Librarians

This notion of collegiate sharing could be very useful in time-strapped schools.
