Week 5. Wikis!

Again, I never actually knew what wiki meant until now! And to be honest I never really thought much about it other than what on earth Wikipedia meant. I can see the pros and cons to wikis, but if used carefully I think the pros outweigh the cons.
 I think wikis would be a great way for people to share information in the library. For example the procedure manual idea is great. Possibly it can be used as a suggestion page the public can use to give information to the library. It could also be used for people to recommend books or other learning materials. For example someone might type in ‘INDIA’ and people could list the resources that they found helpful when looking for information about India. Just like a search catalogue but only listing books and authors recommended by the public?? 

By the way who thought up Wetpaint. A little random?

    I like your blog. It's good to hear it's not just us oldies who are not so keen on the net. Although you do sound like you do an awful lot on it to me! I like e mail and spell check, oh and you tube.
