RA Wiki

No, not that RA. In this case, the RA refers to "reader advisory", and the wiki in question is located here. Our Herculean task this time was to write a brief book review, post it to the wiki, and write about the experience. And this is my record of said activity.

Um, it was easy.


This, while a useful and valid way to use a wiki, is only scratching the surface. A wiki accessible to everyone but only edited by the brass could be used to update and display policy. Much better than the current "we'll update when we feel like it" method. Plus, said policy would be transparent; the public could read it and have less reason to complain when we don't renew their book because someone else has requested it. Or whatever.

That is just one possibility. Wikis are very adaptable. There are as many potential uses as there are stars in the sky.
