Library Wikis

I checked out Library Success and Book Lovers wiki.

It was interesting that LS had problems with vandalism. I've often thought that this might be a problem. Someone could add incorrect information, just for the fun of it, and really make things difficult for other users. Really defeats the goal of being helpful and useful. I liked the way LS was set up: the main page wasn't filled with stuff, so was easy to use.

Book Lovers wiki is a great example of how one could be used for the short term. It was, certainly, helpful in providing information to include in their catalog so had an extra bonus.
