I like that some libraries are using wikis to let people add reviews for books in their catalogs. I think this is a great idea. I usually go to Amazon to check stuff out, but it would save a lot of time if it was right there in the catalog.
I think they are a good idea for posting programs and other information.
I signed up for Learning 2.0 Wiki Sandbox. My account was accepted, but I didn't get the tab to edit, to be able to add anything. Maybe the site is closed.

I agree! The book rec wikis are really cool!
ReplyDeleteand it's not inconceivable that enough library rec wiki's could steal mind share from Amazon...if people stopped long enough to realize that there's much of what's on Amazon is commercially driven. And lord knows our libraries need more mind share...
