Thing 5: Wikis

For the wiki examples provided, they were all helpful.  I don't know a lot about wikis, but it seems that changes in the cataloging wiki at the UL library could create problems if someone were to incorrectly edit those pages.  I especially thought the Antioch U. wiki was helpful to their staff, especially new staff.  The St. Joseph's site was a list of subject guides to help patrons; I'm not sure who can make changes to this site; I assume only the library staff.  The Princeton Book Lovers wiki is a great asset for a public library where readers can let others know what the book is about and their opinions.  The Library Success wiki seems like a great idea for libraries to help one another solve common problems.  These wikis are all functional.  Our library does have a wiki for different library services such as Cataloging, Circulation, Collection Development, etc.  It also includes who is responsible for different subject guides and comments on how to make these better for students.  I was only familiar with Wikipedia really, so it was good to see other helpful uses for wikis.
