I thought that the Book Lovers Wiki and the SJCPL Subject Guides were confident, elegant, useful examples of library wikis. The Book Lovers Wiki would work well with the next iteration of the Summer Reading Challenge that the Library ran last summer with terrific assistance from, and participation of, public libraries. The capacity of wikis as internal tools - replacing training manuals, as communal space for project teams etc - is significant and AID is using the technology for the former purpose. The most challenging applications for us might be in the 'annotating the catalogue' and 'creating community wiki' areas. Maybe a wiki for the City of Literature if that comes off?
The discipline or challenge for us is to pick one or two public applications that will serve us strategically and to support them well.
