I've completed my first posting (added a staff pick) to the VBPL readers advisory wiki. Not surprisingly, it was quite simple! I especially like the fact I don't need yet another login to update the page; a guest account is available.
wikispaces offers a very nice and intuitive user interface. no knowledge of html required, yet if one does have advanced skills, there's the possiblity of adding widgets and code. i wonder who stole from whom...blogspot from wikispaces or vice versa??
other misc thoughts on the RA wiki:
- can we link the items to those in the catalog? sure we can!
- are the recommended reads for adults still under construction? "fiction" and "nonfiction" are not links, though I imagine one fine day they will be!
- would be nice to link to the booklists available in the catalog. the sirsi lists contain a bit more info about each item recommended.
and finally - i think internal wikis are/will be great for library teams. one team that i was on made use of a wiki, and it was very helpful. if taken seriously enough, collaborative use of wikis could eliminate the need for so many meetings!

I like the way that you are seeking connections. Part of this program is just to get you think of all the possiblities.
You're doing great!
