More exploring in Wiki

I haven't found Wikis to be all that helpful to me, but that's not to say I wont find uses for them in the future.
One thing I can think of where a Wiki might be useful for a Library, might be to have clients comment on such subjects as collection content or new installations or operating hours, this could be as broad as the library may want it.  Feedback on quality of service and comments on how to improve the service could be another.

More Flikr Fun

Today I have enjoyed mapping my photos.  This was fun and is a good way of storing and organising your photos in date and location order.

Montager is also a wonderful creative way to display your photos and looks good printed on canvas.

CULLB602C Task 6: Wikis

I found the video by common Craft very informative even without sound.
After a little research, I came across a Wiki by the NLA, although it wasn't evident or listed in their social networking section on the home page.  I was disappointed to also discover that the wiki was not all that interesting, but felt it was worth a look as the other wikis listed in the Web CT discovery exercise are American.

While searching for Wikis related to Australian Libraries, I found an interesting blog instead.

On another note I am interested in exploring the possibility of using a Wiki to bring together the key interested groups in my uni project and give them this avenue to communicate their ideas.  In this way I may be able to have them communicating effectively and without too much conflict.!
