Wiki, wiki's everywhere!

Well I have looked at some of the wiki's mentioned in the Library 2.0 blog and have found the whole concept very interesting. I really like the idea of using an intranet style one to inform staff about policies and procedures, they seem to change rapidly and no-one ever seems to know where the latest version of things are saved. One easy location that is easily edited sounds fantastic! Love the star wars and book lover's review wiki's, one is fun, the other useful if implemented by a library, can get patrons to easily write their own reviews to share.

I have finally managed to find some time to complete week 5, yeah!! I have added comments to the wiki!! At first I was confused about where to add my input, there was no Collection Development position listed, chose Technical Services and there were other Collection staff so managed to get that right. Then I was not sure where to add my comment, at the top or under the rest, decided to go to the bottom of the class (so to speak). Wrote my stuff decided text looked boring and discovered (through google of course) a useful site to find html font colour codes and made my text dark purple, for those who are curious the code is:#800080.
