I never realised how popular and wide spread wikis actually are. When I saw the word 'wiki' I immediately thought of wikipedia, but the fact is everyone can have a wiki.
Wikis could greatly benefit a library. I particularly liked the idea of the Booklover Wiki. We could take a similar step by encouraging both staff and customers to submit reviews of books they've read, DVDs they've watched or CDs they've listened to which can then be added to the website. Might even be possible for such wikis to be linked to the catalogue too. In addition to that, we could add some instructions on how to use new technology as the self checkout machines, SARA or anything else we decide to add in the future. Could even have a basic Q&A wiki where we list common questions that staff are asked, and putting them all into a Wiki on the website.
