A lot of the library wikis were appealing for one or more reasons. The St. Joseph County Public Library system wiki reminded me of an interactive bulletin board, and I appreciate the fact the featured books are linked directly to the catalog. The ALA website looks just like Wikipedia, but it's easy to use and had lots of good info. Love Princeton's reviews from various sources. Librarianchick's was pretty boring appearancewise, which made me not want to surf around.
By allowing patrons an opportunity to post things, such as book reviews would give them a great sense of ownership.
One of the things mention was finding a link to a Little League game, thus making the library more of a community center. Hmmm, do we want to go that far? Something to mull over for the future.
