Week 7 Thing 16

I was impressed with the Subject guide wiki created by St. Josephs County Public Library. You are able to choose from a catagorized list of subjects. This wiki provided a central place to learn about a subject, discover library resources and programs and the option of making a comment. I looked at "Health" and found information about the library databases, a list of local hospitals, spas, local classes and highlight books from the library collection. It was certainly a good resource for customers and a good marketing tool for library programs and materials.

I also liked the Book Lovers Wiki from the Princeton Library. It seems like it could be an additional way to engage patrons in book discussions.
