Week 8: Answer boards and social searching

"slaming the boards" - I think it would be a great public relations exercise and useful for staff in gain experience in this form of information service. As our library doesn't have an "Ask a librarian" link this could be used in place of it with library patrons voting etc. and may create a more relaxed, relative and contemporary view of Libraries and Librarians in general. The more interesting questions could be posted on our site and patrons invited to comment etc.

However, for this to be relevant it would demand an amount of staff hours that may not be available.

Again, another interesting concept that I had no idea existed.
