Wikibrary

The idea of wikis used in libraries is interesting. I think, however, we should be careful with what we let the general public edit. After all, people come to libraries and library websites for accurate information, and even the most well-meaning customer could edit something with incorrect information. On the other hand, it could be helpful for some things. What if our customers could post reviews of books they've read on our catalog? That would be a neat reader's advisory tool that we wouldn't need to upkeep at all. Imagine being able to see what others thought of a book you are considering reading, just like Amazon or Library Thing. Librarians could even promote certain books by leaving a review.
