Second verse, same as the first

(Just for the record, I title my post - strictly for my own amusement - with whatever phrase bubbles to the surface when I’m thinking about my current post. Sometimes it’s some random gobbly-gook, sometimes it’ll be an accurate title, and sometimes it’ll be some subtle or witty description of my topic. You’re just going to have to take your chances.) 

The second group of lessons for the Web 2.0 course (the first group was about blogging) is about Wiki’s. They give a list of several library related wiki’s and we’re suspost to comment on what we find and our thoughts on them.

SJCPL Subject Guide – very nice. I like the way it defines and then breaks down the various subject areas and then has links that lead into the catalog.

Book Lovers Wiki – This is wonderful. I would love to see our library setup something like this. Initially we could “stock” it with reviews by staff members, and then allow patrons a chance to log in and review, or give counterpoints to reviews already posted.

Library Success: A best practices wiki – it’s a good idea, but I’d like to see more content – not just a bunch of sorted links.

ALA 2006 New Orleans wiki – Well organized. I’d have liked to seen links to program materials / PowerPoint’s for each program instead of just the brief description.

Bull Run Library Wiki – interesting, but it was more like a library’s home page instead of what I think of as a wiki. Still had some good links.

iRead wiki – again a good site, something that I think can be merged with something like the Book Lovers Wiki to create a wonderful web site.
