Thing #16

I've often looked at Wikipedia, but have never explored other wikis. Exploring the ways other libraries are using wikis is interesting, although some of the wikis have not been updated. I especially liked the Book Lovers Wiki developed by the Princeton Public Library. This would probably be very popular in Montgomery County and would be a good way for children to add reviews of books they read during the summer. The Bull Run Public Library's wiki has a disclaimer that the wiki is created by and for the patrons of the Bull Run Library and is not associated nor sponsored by the Prince William County Library System. The wiki gives much more detailed information about that specific branch and their programs. Wonder how much staff time is spent monitoring/correcting information on this wiki.
