Thing # 16
I had seen and used Wikipedia. But, after familiarizing myself with all Things #16, I am better acquainted with Wikipedia and all things wiki. So... wikis are quick and fast. There are positive and negative aspects( anyone is a potential author but there is very little editorial control). Wikis are an online collaborative tool. I can see potential in library applications, but it would appear that staff would have to monitor.

I enjoyed reading through the Princeton Public Library information. They have a Book Lovers wiki and I feel this could be very doable here at PLYMC. This would be great for adult and/or teen summer reading. From what I read, it seems as if the wiki has been used for at least two years and they have all the problems/bugs worked out. Something new to consider.
