WIKIs 2

Looking through Library Success: A best practices wiki and have discovered Tips/Successful Models for Library Materials Selection.
For me in the library I am responsible for the purchasing of material for the Children and Youth area of the Singleton Library. Creating a wiki for young people to share what they are reading would help me in choosing material that is popular and what the current trends are in children and YA materials.
This would apply to all areas of purchasing. Wikis such as Reading Group Guides and staff picks would help.
Being able to see what other libraries are doing would help in all areas. Just on Library success have found wikis for all aspects of the library

Wikis

Have just signed in to Library success. The benefits of this are endless with so many great ideas to share and all I could think of was the old adage of 2 heads are better than 1. Knowing what others are doing out there is such an advantage and for other peop;e to be able to develop the idea is fantastic

I found this great set of slides from a presentation by Kate Davis at the fifth new librarians symposium in Perth. It sums up web 2.0 and its effect on libraries staff.She says....Information Communications Technology (ICT) is core business for libraries. Every day, libraries deliver ICT services to their customers, in the form of public access computers, wireless Internet connectivity and technology training programs. We increasingly rely on the Internet and the World Wide Web as a core service and collection delivery channel. And ICT is the single most important set of tools in allowing us to carry out ‘traditional’ library functions such as collection management and circulation.
For me I find it endlessly exciting as I discover the many different ways I can use technology in my children's services area. Kids today relate to technology so well that you are almost garanteed instant attention when I implement a program using technology such as flickr slide show or movie maker.
