SJCPL Subject Guides wiki - I found this wiki interesting as it really allowed library members to interact with the library in an online environment. It had a subject guide where you could see different books available in the library. It also had a section for members to communicate with staff - I think this is great! It makes the library seem very modern and up to date in today's society.
Book Lovers Wiki - This wiki was interesting had book reviews from a summer reading group. A lot of libraries have reading clubs and this is a great way to use technology for such a thing and keep a permanent record of the readers experience. It was also categorised so you could access books more specifically e.g. 5 star rating, romance etc.
Wookieepedia - This is great for any star wars lover! I thought it was good because it was an encyclopedia about Star Wars that anyone could edit - fans can add what they like to it. I liked its layout with qutoes, articles and did you know facts.
What types of applications within libraries might work well with a wiki? a lot of things in the library could be used with this application e.g. feedback from patrons, OPAC's, Subject guides, rosters for staff, Staff news area, Library news and information.
