Wikis

I love using Wikis. They are easy to understand how to use and get input from other people in. We used a wiki for our long range planning group and everyone could comment and see other comments so the feedback was useful. I would use wikis as an alternative to driving around to different committee meetings every month. Have looked at ALA's wikis and various staff ones we have. Really do find making a wiki fun!

social bookmarking sites

As del.icio.us as it sounds I have only used social bookmarking sites occasionally. Have tried it for flannelboard stories and it did find a few. Also tried it one day for a recipe with tomatoes and did bring up some great recipes but would find it just as easy to google. I could see using it for popular answers to questions we get all the time in the library within the aacpl system.

Online Office Tools

I tried using the calendar with online office tools but found if you do not check it or are consistant in entering your dates it really doesn't help you as much. I like the fact it gives our patrons another way to do their work and create presentations.
