Exercise 11 - Wikis

Well, I've been a fan of Wikipedia for ages.

We use a Wiki already in the library - I'd say Fitch is a good example of how a Wiki can work. We have our own internal Wiki - North Shore Libraries, and we can also access the main greater Auckland Wiki.

I can see that Wikis would be great for book reviews. That would be an amazing functionality to add to our OPAC. If we made patrons log in before adding a Wiki, this would lessen the possibility of someone adding something that they shouldn't with their post. And / or would could moderate the wiki entries. Not allowing each post to be live until someone had approved the content.
