I enjoyed the wiki thing but need more time to look at it all. So much information, so little time....
I enjoyed the animals in the library page in the NSW learning 2.0 wiki. Very amusing. I'm glad I haven't found a snake in my library. Only giant huntsman spiders which I shepherd out before anyone freaks.
I think I'd be more worried about fainting or hysterical teenagers than the wildlife!!

wikis
Well, I am slowly getting through this. Sometimes it is enlightening and I can see the value. Other times it is very frustrating...mostly due to technology glitches. However, I have looked at a few wikis and thoroughly enjoyed the booklovers wiki. I guess if it is something in your field of interest it is great.
I have used Wikipedia before and direct library users to it often.
On the subject of abusing the privelige of editing....I went to high school in a small Scottish town called Dingwall. Recently someone sent me an email with a link to a Wikipedia entry for Dingwall where some smart alec had changed all the info completely taking the mickey from the town and it's residents.
It was actually very funny but also very hurtful to the people named. So , I guess the question is , how much of what we read is legitimate.
Anyway I am still waiting for the invite key for the lib learning wiki. I think I did the right thing again...... That's the trouble, you are sitting at a computer alone, doing all this with no-one to ask if you get stuck......ok, yes I can email but it isn't the same.
I'll probably put another posting up when I have success.
