Thing 14 RA Wiki

I have had some initial problems with the RA wiki. I did eventually post to the site. I enjoyed seeing the blurbs that others have added. I'm still not sure what I think about wikis. Time will tell.

Thing 13 Wiki Wolrd

The Book Lovers and Bull Run Library wikis impressed me the most. They were both well organized and very clean. I did notice that some wikis I visited on my own were not very well developed for whatever reason. I have always been a fan of wikipedia. I'm not bothered by the structure of wikis - that is the ability for people to be constantly making changes. It does bother me that some of the wikis were so unorganized, but I am working on seeing the overall value before I am too critical.

I think wikis have the potential to offer library customers a lot of good information. I'm not sure yet how they may impact my world.
