Wikis

Wow! Wikis are amazing! So much information...

I looked at Book Lovers Wiki - great for book reviews but not sure if it is easy to find a book review for a particular book especially if it is new.

SJCPL Subject Guides Wiki - info on just about any subject that interests you, even local scholarships. I clicked on Gardening and was interested to find new books on shelves listed and gardening tips etc. In the craft subject there was info on knitting web sites and projects with instructions. Only thing is I would spend so much time reading all this information I would never leave the computer to do anything!!

Editing wikis was a bit scary....especially something like your own area wiki..but could see that adding useful info from a reliable source would make for a very informative site.
