Wikis

Like many people, my first experience with a wiki was Wikipedia. At that time (several years ago) I had no idea what a wiki was. In fact I remember I was not impressed by Wikipedia at that time. Now I can see that it can be another way for a library to communicate and with its patrons. However, does a library need to have a blog, a wiki, and a Facebook page? Sometimes it seems it might be a little too much for smaller libraries to keep up with.

However, I do see that this could be a great resource for staff cooperation/communication. I am a part of the State Library wiki - OK, I haven't added to it yet, but I have read all the new posts. Also, a wiki could be a great resource for families concerning upcoming vacations, weddings, graduations, and genealogical research.
