Wikis

I explored the St. Joseph County Public Library system wiki. I was really impressed by use of a wiki as a pathfinder. When I was in library school, I liked doing pathfinders and thought they might be helpful to patrons. A wiki can be an electronic pathfinder that’s a lot easier to update and also encourages user input. It allows a library greater flexibility in offering access to electronic resources than a website, and the opportunity for feedback is great.
