Wikis

I like the pathfinder wiki developed by the St. Joseph County Public Library system. It is nicely organized and well-laid out. It is easy to use and find information. I think it is a great resource for their patrons. Aesthetically speaking, I prefer the look of a regular web page. I don't like the text-based look of most wikis. However, I appreciate the convenience wikis offer. Especially in situations where several people need to access and edit a page but not everyone possesses advanced web design skills.

Libraries can use wikis for a variety of purposes including book/movie recommendations, library clubs/groups, subject guides, special events and programs, and internal departmental uses.
