I know...I skipped Thing #6. I'll come back to it.
Anyway on to Wikis. I found these fascinating. To think that you can create & post like the example shown regarding the mythical camping trip-how handy. It does eliminate the back and forth of email. I think this is a useful tool however, as shown w/Wikipedia anyone (if given access/rights/permission) can post anything-which means you have to either trust the content or be very discening. It would work for a group (such as library employees) as a bulletin board-much easier to communicate w/everyone since we all work varied shifts. I found the Wikipedia site on Roselle interesting, particularly the links at the bottom to Lake Park HS & the village hall. No mention of the library however! HMMMM.... I checked out Schaumburg's site for their 2.0 project. It is intesting to see how libraries incorporate new technology-not unlike other business'. Since we are learing all of these tech related items, why don't we pick a couple (the most benefical or useful) for use in the library among our fellow employees? It's a way to retain our new found knowledge plus become familiar and comfortable w/technology. This way too when our patrons ask us, we can explain & educate-after all, that's what we are here for.
