Library Thing & Wikis 1

LibraryThing:

I think this is something we can really work with and I would like to see us explore it as an enhancement to our catalog - as Danbury Public has done. I really appreciate the idea of taking controlled vocabulary and running it in parallel with tagging. It provides another access point for our users and, as we used to say in ILL, we're about getting the stuff to the people who need the stuff, so why not help the people get the stuff in whatever ways we can and in ways that make sense to them and not just us.

Wikis 1:

I think wikis have a lot of potential for libraries. Collaborative subject guides, collaborative assignment guides, collaborative training guides. I really haven't reached the "open it up to the world" idea though (for editing) and am leaning more towards the "open it up to this defined user group in the world" idea. I may get there (the world) by thing 23, we'll just have to see.
