Review
'This book provides library staff with concrete and convincing proof of the usefulness of wikis in libraries. It's a good guide to what's possible and how to accomplish it. Incorporating issues such as staff buy-in, organizational culture, early wins and getting the word out makes this a useful resource...' Amy Kearns, Program Coordinator at the Central Jersey Regional Library Cooperative and Part-Time Lecturer at the School of Communication and Information at Rutgers University
