Letter 6 - Tasks 14 and 15 - Wiki's

Greetings Again,

Task 14 - I was already quite familiar with wiki's, but learning more about them was helpful. I can see libraries using wiki's to help patrons understand where materials are located, or how to seach the catalogs. It could also be a way for Librarians to post reccomendations for materials, as well as advice for patrons in terms of reference. It could also be a way for patrons to give their opinions on what features they would like their library to provide. The library could also post statistics in terms of what they have in their collection. This would help patrons understand what they have access to.

Task 15- The NFL 2.0 wiki is cool! I like how we can all list things, but the pages are not a fruitful as they would have been if more people had made it this far. I added my blog to the list, and I am going to go back and add a TV show and a Movie as well. I like the idea of having a place where everyone can show their common intrests and things like that. I hope that page continues to be used even after this is done.
