Things 16 & 17 -- Wiki cool!
Have been investigating wikis via PLCMC's links and am constructing one in response to discussion at yesterday's meeting. Would a wiki work for us to share thoughts about hot topics? There are certainly lots of places using wikis in interesting ways. have you seen Wiktionary, the dictionarylike companion to Wikipedia? One of the most interesting wikis I saw in this exercise was Library Success where you can see what is being done and working well at other libraries. I also thought the Princeton Public Library book review wiki was interesting. I played in the PLCMC's sandbox and posted my blog there. Onward to the next thing...

Louisa, so far I haven't seen you mention www.MySpace.com too much, but lots of libraries are now posting profiles there because it gets more teen traffic than Google. Among them are: Hennepin County, Morrisville College, Brooklyn College. . . check out Hennepin's posts to their blog from some of their 628 friends, including many authors.
Facebook is the other popular social networking place a where students (mostly college) hang out, and many libraries are already there, as well. What do you think about libraries joining in?
