As a Reference Librarian I find answer boards fascinating. People throw out their questions - and some of them are questions they would never ask another person face-to-face, and there is a body of ready people with answers. This is great.
Libraries could use this as a variation on Ask a Librarian, especially if the board is constructed as a group board - HSC Students, Local Studies People, Family Histories; the list is really endless and limited only by our (Library) collective thinking, time and approach to using the net. But what am I saying, if we did not have ideas, visions etc, we would not be doing this programme.
I also stumbled onto the WetPaint site, but that is a different entry and should be saved for another day.
