#16 So what's in a Wiki

I found this exercise quite interesting. I thought the wiki's that were targeted for a particular purpose would be the most useful in the library context. I liked the wiki's for book club discussions ; enhancing the catalogue with book reviews ; subject guides ; and collaborative work projects. I could imagine a wiki on local history would be useful - with people contributing who went to a local school, or lived in a particular street. Perhaps the anniversary of a significant event in the local area, eg. a fire, flood, school or road opening would bring in contributions.
