First I liked this, then I didn't, then I did. Confused yet?
Firstly I thought it was going to give me great lists of authors in different genres, and it sort of did in the History related mystery section with images of book titles.
Then I looked at Arts and Entertainment and it is all about local events, galleries, museums, movies and bars. I guess I was expecting it to have relevant books on those subjects. It did have a comprehensive list of the magazines that the library has on those fields. I think the info on the page was very relevant to the local community and therefore not a bad thing to have on the site. The same thing with the Gardening page, no books. I would have liked to see the library collection somehow linked to those particular pages.
Very interesting area on writing your own diaries and journals with links to other sites for further information.
Great section on Genealogy which includes help sheets for the databases that the library subscribe to. Many links to useful sites and general how to information.
The Business page has direct links to the library catalogue from where you can reserve a book as well as links to journals and databases.
All in all a very good, informative Wiki. This wiki was only able to be edited by librarians. I wonder if that is a good thing or a bad thing.
