Week 5 # Wikis

LOVED IT!!
How conveniant for everyone! Looking at the different wikis that were provided by libraries 2.0, already i can see how helpful and interesting they are!!! It showed me that there are all different types of wikis. Ranging from the more serious once (like book lovers) to the ones that are mocking and funny (wookieepedia).

Wikis are a great way to communicate and stay in contact with people and allows information to be more orginsed. I love how you can edit the pages by clicking "edit page" (and putting in your user name and password!). It is a great way to access knowledge of a range of different people and usually ones that know more about a subject that i do! hehe.

In libraries it would be a great way to communicate and orginise events (escpecially in our library as we have a number of branches) without the hassel of emails and long phonecalls..

DEFINATLY ONE THAT ILL BE USING!!!

I guess some parts of the program will appeal more than others. I'm glad you loved wikis. I guess that's the great thing about web 2.0 - libraries can use and adapt the technologies we think are most useful. Hope you continue to enjoy the program.
