Ning : DIY Q&A expertise locator
In an earlier post I mentioned the possibility of setting up an expertise locator/Q&A service for topic reference librarians using FAQQLY groups.
I just came across a wiki dedicated to IT in libraries called Pay IT Forward…it is basically a member directory for those who need help with IT issues in libraries.
Check out the member directory, it includes peoples interests…search here by name or topic.
This is very primitive, this could be perhaps set up in a Q&A service just for IT in libraries, perhaps using Ning, see this example.
With a little web 2.0 enhancement, we can have a member directory as well as a Q&A service in the one place, the essentials would be like Yedda, but it would be a whole website dedicated to your own topic, eg. Library IT experts.
Essential features:
- see recent questions
- tag questions
- people tags (tag yourself)
- public user space
