Week 7 thing 17 wiki exploration

I looked at each of these sites and found that some are more developed and interesting than others.
The first was:
SJCPL Subject Guides – a pathfinder wiki developed by the St. Joseph County Public Library system
This had a very busy format and didn't find it very useful to me.

The Book Lovers Wiki was great, I looked at a number of lists and found titles that OPL doesn't own that I might enjoy reading.

Book Lovers Wiki - developed by the Princeton Public Library for their 2006 Summer Reading Club (for adults)

Library Success: A best practices wiki This wiki really looks like Wikepedia and is very organized. they even try to validate their info by requiring e-mails for submissions.

The Bull Run Library wiki - a public library wiki and also a Learning 2.0 participant did not strike me as very helpful, and basically a home page for their library. I like our Homepage for Patrons a lot more.

WikiNorthiaa local history wiki by the Yarra Plenty Regional Library (in Melbourne, Australia) was interesting to look at but had a lot of dead ends because they haven't been developed yet.
