Wiki

I have to admit that when you are a Uni student a website like Wikipedia can be your best friend. That's as long as you are prepared to use information that may or may not be correct.
After reviewing some of the library wikis I have to say that I find the " Library Success: A best Practices" wiki very very interesting. I think it was a good idea to have a database of library practices in one spot. Plus it is really good that the information can be edited to add other suggestions and keep up to date.
Having a Wiki of CCLC procedures and practices would be a great help in certain occasions. Everyday procedures are easy to find, but what about the ones that you may only use once a year. That's where wiki could help.
I also like the topic guide wiki, because a lot of people would benefit from being able to search the topic they like in alphabetical order as opposed the numbering system. We can also advertise upcoming events that relate to certain topic through this.
Overall I would have to say that wikis could benefit the CCLC organization a lot both professionally and personally.
