Auckland City Libraries uses discussion boards as a communication tool to allow anyone to discuss a popular topic online. A librarian will post information on a popular topic and anyone can start a new discussion or add a comment directly to a discussion thread at any time.
You can also subscribe to a post to keep track of a discussion. An email is sent whenever someone has posted a new comment or reply. These discussions are not moderated, but readers can report a thread.
