Week 7: Thing 16 & 17

Thing 16: Wiki's. Book Lovers Wiki by Princeton Public library is totally cool. Links on the side include 5 star book reviews and classics. Found a great book, Hubble: The Mirror on the Universe, by Ronin Kerrod, which has pics of stars, galaxies, and star nurseries that are phenomenal. Checked out the Albany County Public Library Staff wiki, http://albystaff.pbwiki.com/ , which has information on library procedures. It also allows people to add to their wiki and edit information. Found http://learning.libraryu.org/home/ from the Illionois State Library, which has relevant information for library trustees. Also looked at other wiki examples and created a link on wikis with library success, which included procedural information which could be useful. Loved the Library Success: A best practices wiki, which is now in my link list!!! :0)

Thing 17: Added deblearning to the SJLibraryLearning 2.0 Favorites wiki. Found it to be a doable process. I just wanted to change the title of my blog though, but am not sure if I can do it, since I registered with Virtual Services w. this blog title and it is in the Participants list. Also completed the optional excercise in order to put a favorite book on the wiki: Pride and Prejudice and Lord of the Rings. I used my display name, kepola, to wiki my favorite books. Tough choice to pick only one book-just see if you can do it!!! :0)
