Week Seven

Wikis - It took me a while to understand how this worked but once I watched the Youtube video it seemed much easier - you edit, write and save - simple. Or so I thought - until I tried it! Eventually got there and now that I can see them in action I think they are a really good idea. I'm just glad we weren't asked to set one up! I am curious about how respectful people are of others efforts, if there are all sorts of crazy stuff that is added by people who deliberately want to sabotage.

Was interesting to read some of the links , such as the Princeton Booklovers. It's a good way to see what other people are reading and to hear their thoughts - like an online book club - and good to read the opinions of the general public, rather than that of a journalist.

I can see that it would be very useful within our library system. When we have events across the system we could share our ideas and programme information in the planning stages, and it would save everyone travelling into Central for meetings. It would also be useful for updating and sharing information in our training manuals.

PBWiki - I have added an entry to the Favourites Blog page. It's taken me a while to get to this point, really needed to persevere this week. Once again it was not really that difficult, just made it so in my head. I'm always grateful for the support of workmates who are a few steps ahead.
