As opposed to my last post, I think this could be an ideal way to create a community with our patrons that will enhance their use of the library & the resources we can offer. I had a good look at our wiki & thought it was an excellent way to bring all our resources together & allow patrons some input. The book reviews feature will be really popular, as patrons enjoy reading library staff reviews so they'll enjoy contributing to the discussion. The layout is really clean & easy to navigate. It led me on to investigate Fiction Connection which is a great resource & AquaBrowser gives it a really attractive look. It will be great once the link to our catalogue is working. I also had a look at the Booklovers Wiki at Princeton Library & found a couple of mystery novels I hadn't heard of so it wasn't a wasted visit!
In honour of my rereading of Dorothy L Sayers this week, my pictures for this post are of DLS & her alter ego, Harriet Vane. They're totally irrelevant but I've remembered how to add pictures to the blog & I want to keep practising so I don't forget. And, anyway, DLS is always relevant.
