(#15) which wiki would work?

wikis seem to be used like blogs, only they're better organized. it's easier to find past "posts" or to contribute to a particular subject within the wiki than it is to comment on and find older blog entries. i like the book review wiki and the library success wiki -- the latter one was like going to a roundtable without having to get lost on the way to the host library. might be good for a summer reading program or maybe even a troubleshooting manual? maybe the millions of emails you get if you subscribe to the clc or conntech(?) lists can be replaced by a wiki somehow. or is there one already?

    Wikis are about communal knowledge, a collaborative workspace, which is why something like a troubleshooting manual would be helpful. How can you see it being used for a summer reading program?

    if we made a universal site (wiki page) where teens could write in their reviews of the books they read over the summer -- maybe even supply a list of books they had to choose from (like the high school and middle school lists) -- we could keep track of how many books were read and by which patron. it would be easier to separate the titles and the corresponding input with a wiki than with a blog i think. we were talking about doing something like this and giving away a prize for reading a certain number of books, etc. maybe we'll make it work for next year.
