#16 Wikis

Wikis get everyone into the project. ALA New Orleans listed everything from Restaurants to bus routes. Libraries could really use the subject wikis to put more content into a heading like Weddings. The site listed readings for the ceremony, magazines, music, and even honeymoon ideas. These headings are the way people look at a subject, not just the standard catalog. I thought the Princeton Public library book lovers Wiki was a perfect place for anyone to write a quick review of a book. Others chime in and soon there are several categories of books that people want to share. Wikis can be inventive.
