thing 16-exploring wikis

I really enjoyed looking at two of the wikis that were linked to this "thing". The first was the Book Lovers Wiki, set up by the Princeton library. As a member of a Book Club, this would be an invaluable site, as it gives "star" ratings/reviews for books that people enjoyed. It does not seem that there is a lot of current information, but the reviews were great and gave me some ideas to take back to my Book Club! The other wiki that I reviewed was the one set up by the Saint Joseph County Public Library. This was well organized and easy to use. It gave the user the ability to look at books they might enjoy, searching by topics, author, genre, etc. It also gave other searches-geneology, hobbies, local history, etc. Considering the blog that I just read by Rick Anderson, this library is doing it right! They are taking their services to the consumers, rather than having the consumers come to them. This was a great wiki!
