#16 I looked at various wikis. The one I liked the best was the Princeton (I think) P.L. where people reviewed books they had read. I like that feature on Amazon. If it's a non-fiction book I'm interested in, I really like to look at customer reviews because that's where you find out if a book was helpful, or if there might be something better. I also like that they (Amazon) upload an editorial description of the book and any professional reviews. I'd like to have customer wiki for book reviews at SJPL and I'd like it if staff could include the editorial description and professional reviews. Actually I don't care who enters the latter stuff, but I'd like to have it for all books and if staff did it it would be more comprehensive.

What if we had a wiki that schools could use to load in their accelerated reader lists--that would be really helpful!
