Item # 16 & 17: Wikis

I looked at the Book Lovers Wiki and the Albany County Public Library Staff Wiki-

Naturally, the Book Lovers wiki would work with libraries for readers advisory
and definitely a staff wiki.
As a PT worker I find that I miss a lot of information so a library staff wiki would be great. I could access one place online from(work or home) and at anytime. It would be great for other staff to resource share as well. Staff that do not attend certain meetings or communication between managers/ circ staff/ and librarians.
The only downside is that it must be maintained, updated, and added to otherwise there's no point. The staff must have time to maintain wiki's.


Wiki's would be good to use at work to get a general sense of an unknown topic and for readers advisory.
