Wiki What? (#15)

I suppose any Wiki is only as good as those who contribute to it...that to me is the potential success and danger of such an endeaver. Of course assuming the infomation is "good" a library could use such a resource for any number of things...from reading lists to policy manuals. It could be quite a useful thing if done well.

Now, this LibraryThing is pretty neat. I like seeing what other people like. It's also cool to see the covers of your favorite books displayed on your blog. The only thing I didn't like was the actual search function on the LibraryThing site. I couldn't find a way to narrow my search to find a specific title by a specific author, which seems like a pretty basic option to have when searching for books. In any case, I was able to find quite a few titles I have on my bookshelf at home...and now the whole world (or the 2 people that read my blog) can see them too!

I suppose I can see the value of having bookmarks compiled by library personnel for use as a weblink database. I think the only problem might result from an inconsistency of tag terminology which might keep people from finding links because they are not using the same descriptor as those who key worded it. If there were a set range of key words one could use to label and search links, it might make it easier to find things you're looking for. But I guess it's a relatively minor complaint. But yeah, having bookmarks be accessible from any computer would be nice...it's murder trying to memorize URLs and it's a pain looking things up.
