LibSuccess Wiki

Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki 是一個很棒的網站，提供圖書館員全方位的資訊及成功案。從目前 9 個 Community 的標提看來，所含蓋的內容確實相當廣泛:

1. Technology
2. Programming
3. Working Together
4. Management and Leadership
5. Selling Your Library
6. Reference Services and Information Literacy
7. Readers’ Advisory
8. Services to Specific Groups
9. Professional

很自然的我先點選 Technology 這一項，發現有多達 14 個類別之多 :

• Website Design
• Web Tips and Tricks
• Web Services
• Collaborative Tools in Libraries (Blogs, Wikis, etc.)
• OPACs
• Electronic Databases
• Institutional Repositories
• Courseware (Blackboard, WebCT, Angel, etc.)
• Digitization
• Improving Access (open_url, metasearch, metadata harvesting, etc.)
• Cataloging
• Free/Open Source Software
• Providing Technology to Patrons (computers, wifi, iPods, etc.)
• Grants for Technology Projects

由於採用 wiki，任何人可以新增或編輯網站內容。

我在上面的 Collaborative Tools in Libraries (Blogs, Wikis, etc.) 那裏看到了一個很可以思考的問題，Don’t Just Blog – Blog It To Courseware。我們一直想在圖書館網站服務上加上Blog，但學生是否有興趣去訂閱? 甚至有些(大部分) 學生都還不了解 Blog 或 RSS 這東西! 我們要如何去推廣呢?! 值得思考….
