Learning about Wikis

Continuing on to #15 (I skipped ahead one. I'll go back, I promise...), learning about wikis. I enjoyed the Common Craft video. Always enjoyable and explains technology so well.

First I took a look at SJCPL Subject Guides. I found this very helpful. I think this would be a nice added feature to CML's Reference subject pages. The home school page is a perfect example of how we could add more relevant content to our website. I think that a wiki would be a great place to home school parent to share lesson plans and great local resources that they have found.

I really liked the Book Lovers Wiki. What a great way to get more adults involved in SRC, plus teaching about web 2.0 tools. And wow, having them integrated into their catalog, how nice.

I think the most important thing I am taking away from this exercise is how much information the public can provide to the library for us to share with others, and all this can be facilitated by using wikis.
