#16 Wikis

Wikis are the answer to many a librarians' prayers. They can replace paper folders and can be easily updated and edited. I love the idea of sharing information and having many and varied contributors. A wiki can pool staff ideas to one site and can be accessed and edited from any pc. Staff reading suggestions, booklists, community info, library procedures, web links, council contacts, databases, local history etc etc. The examples in the exercise demonstrate the range of possibilities ie book lovers, Best practices etc.
