Week 5 Wikis

It is taking me a long time to complete this one - maybe because i'm really enjoying wiki world. There is much to check out and it's very easy to take the scenic route through many of the recommended ones. How interesting that the NZ police act is a wiki. I was looking at some photos on the Antioch Uni site and the comments threads were astonishing to say the least. Not many were comments on the pictures - it ended up being a debate on the existence or otherwise of Hell!
Time to drag out a cliche and get back on the straight and narrow..... i can see lots of library uses for wikis and lots of libraries are obviously using them: our procedure manual is great - looks good and works so well; an online book club that i visited looked interesting; a reference wiki where staff can add tips and resources to various FAQs sounds so useful.
So many things to look at and learn about - my brain needs additional memory!

Nothing at all wrong with a good cliche. They are indicative of life as we know it... after all, "where there's smoke, there's fire".

It is great you are enjoying wikis so much - and this course is not a time trial - it is better to take a bit longer on some weeks so you can explore the options in more detail.
