I found this wiki exercise very interesting.  Some of the preliminary activities – like looking at the article about the pluses and minuses of wikis – demonstrated the pluses and minuses very well.  For instance, the word “cite” was mis-spelled in the header to the article (“often site incorrect information”) – and in the South Joseph P.L.’s list of subject headings, Patricia Polacco’s name is mis-spelled in the local author section.  The perils of no overall authority control!  But, even so, I love wikipedia, especially for pop culture and/or very current info.

I added a book review to the great8 wiki, and also commented on a few articles.  I found the interface pretty easy to use.  I’ve been wanting to develop an internal communication wiki for the youth department, and this is a good motivator to do that.  Seems as if it would lend itself to organizing and retrieving information very well.  Thanks for a good “adventure,” Lisa!
