Week 7: Wikis

I have had a look at the wikis in the Discovery Exercise. I like them for different reasons. The SJCPL Subject Guides is good because it has loads of links to useful places in the home page itself. Besides books and desk information, you can find local public libraries, community organizations and resources, everything about health, travel, pets, gardening etc. etc. It's all there at the reach of a click. The Book Lovers Wiki is very good too, with all your favourite genres grouped there in the home page, e.g. biographies, chick lit, classics, horror and even staff reviews. This, and the fact that everybody can contribute and add content make a wiki a very good e-resource for libraries.

I have added my blog to the Favourite Blogs Page.
