What’s a Wiki?

I went to the PALS wiki and it was very instructional. i clicked into a bunch of different links but i didn't find anything useful to me.

I did like SJCPL Subject guides. I found the information they had on their more useful to everyday people, not just librarians. For example, the differences between a biography, autobiograhy, memoir, and journal. I looked under the subject of cooking and I thought it was helpful that they linked into different magazines like vegetarian times and books about cooking careers.

Overall, i like Book Lovers Wiki. i don't feel like there's a lot of information in there. but i like the links to the different books and i enjoy reading people's reviews. i got a lot of ideas about books that i would like to read by browsing this site. i'll probably use it some more today to see what else is on it.

I think a library wiki is a good idea and gets the community more involved in an active way, than just using the library's website or facebook or myspace pages. maybe an application that allows patrons to discuss programs that we've had or programs that they would like to see at the library might bring in more people.
