Week 7, Thing 17

#17 Add an entry into the Sandbox Wiki created with PB Wiki

I've wikied before and I like pbwiki. Its free, simple to use but has some powerful options.

I've added my blog to the favorites here.

I have to say I did enjoy nosing around the wiki. So far my two favorite pages are Random thoughts by matterhorn and WE WANT MORE CEUs FOR LEARNING. I found them quite amusing! LOL! Not sure yet if I'm going to create a new page. I'll have to think of something interesting first!

Week 7, Thing 16

#16 Learn about wikis and discover some innovative ways that libraries are using them

I don't know about innovative, but I think wikis would be a great place for Library staff to share resources, program ideas, recommendations and so on. This would be very convenient with libraries that have multiple branches! The main thing I would worry about of course would be privacy and security.

I also liked the Bullrun Libray wiki that is run by a patron (with the all important disclaimer). Again with all the Web 2.0 sites, making collaboration easy is the key! Wikis are great for book recommendation, program listings, webpage link directories and more. The main benefit being that it can be created and updated easily.
