Maxymuk, John. "Online communities." The Bottom Line 20.1 (2007): 54-57.

This paper investigates the application of new communication technologies, specifically podcasts, blogs, and wikis, within the library environment. It discusses the potential benefits and limitations of each technology for library services. The paper is somewhat skeptical about the effectiveness of podcasts and vodcasts for general libraries due to content nature but acknowledges their value for special collections and libraries focused on music and art. In contrast, blogs and wikis are highlighted as more promising tools for most libraries to disseminate information and offer assistance to their users.
