Wikis

I found my way to wikis that present library marketing ideas, success stories and recommendations for books, including book trailers.

Libraries are also using wikis for subject guides, community information, local history and for staff intranets and procedure manuals. I am a member of the Reference Action Team and have suggested a wiki for sharing information, ideas, stories and experiences within the team, and with links to the existing intranet. We need an application like this that is embedded in our everyday work activity and gives us an opportunity to apply and practice using new technologies.
