Libraries and wikis

Web 2.0 technologies provide the opportunity to develop new initiatives in library service delivery. Wikis in particular could be used to engage people in ways we would only have dreamt of in the past. Whether it be staff to staff in collaborative tasks, training and the like, staff to member or member to staff in collaboration or advisory roles, or maybe its an amalgamation of member to member, staff to many, member to many... the opportunity exists and it is up to us to think outside of the square - to adapt this resource to our community and organisational need. the following blog is a good place to start for ideas:
Introduction
Welcome to Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki. This wiki was created to be a one-stop shop for great ideas and information for all types of librarians. All over the world, librarians are developing successful programs and doing innovative things with technology that no one outside of their library knows about. There are lots of great blogs out there sharing information about the profession, but there is no one place where all of this information is collected and organized. That's what we're trying to do.
