Week 7 - Thing 16 - Wikis

I feel Wikis can serve a number purposes in a library setting. Princeton's use of it as a community book review location sounds like a great idea to provide patrons with another resource to use in reader's advisory. Even more important is that the resource is the community. I liked St. Joseph's subject guide which integrates a number of community resources,interesting websites with selected library catalog searches and databases. A good way to use a number of different resources with a fairly easy subject layout. Training and internal communications are obvious uses. Taking the message board to a higher level.
