Wikis

I have been to a couple of seminars now that have included information about wikis and have always wanted to "give it a go". Council's Customer Service Manager has developed an A to Z about Council using word and I have always thought that it would lend itself really well to a wiki. I think I now have the confidence to show her how we could use wiki to make her A to Z more user friendly :) It would definitely have to be a closed community and may have to be put on our Intranet, but I think it will be very beneficial.
I have also thought about putting our staff manual as a wiki...something to think about.
I liked the book club putting their reviews on a wiki...another thing to think about!

RSS Feeds

I can see the benefits of being able to receive information regularly on topics that you are interested in, but I can see how it can quickly turn into information overload. There are so many interesting RSS feeds out there that I can see myself being overwhelmed and not wanting to use any.
I think it would be important for Libraries to make sure they did not have too many items of information being pushed through the feed, as patrons may not want to know everything! It would be useful to link it to the 'What's On' section of our Library's website.

Hi, this is my cat Steve when he was a cute little kitten. I had trouble uploading photos from other people, so I created my own flickr account.
