WIKIS

I noticed that most of the library wikis were academic libraries. Students may be more familiar with wikis in their personal life so using a library wikis would be more intuitive for them than the general public.
It might be wise to have a staff member moderate the wiki to edit out unwanted “graffiti” if everyone had access to the wiki.
Wikis could enable people to write and share book reviews. Others could add their comments on the review (agree/disagree).
The library could announce and people could comment on upcoming library programs. Perhaps people could sign up for programs on a wiki.
Staff wikis could be created to share and store information among and between sections. Perhaps a log for printer problems, or a log of frequently asked questions.
