Wiki world

So, I did it kind of backwards, but I still got it done! I hereby complete Thing #16: I visited a handful of the library-related wikis. Great stuff! I particularly enjoyed the Book Lovers wiki sponsored by the Princeton Public Library (I'm going to have to read one of the titles I discovered under the "5 star reviews" heading). I also see the benefits of the "best practices" wiki for librarians, Library Success. It provides a way for librarians to pool their good ideas and point one another toward useful resources. Rather than keeping track of hundreds of blogs or websites or email lists, librarians can visit the wiki and get all the info and ideas in one spot!

As an amateur editor, I am particularly fond of wikis' openness. Whenever I spot typos or organizational inconsistencies, I can just hop on in via the edit button and tidy up. So satisfying!
