Wiki Week
Having had a look at several wiki sites I followed the instructions to the hot issues on Blackboard. I could post a comment but found I couldn't edit anything which I understood was the name of the game. Joseph also had this problem. I looked up the other Blackboard Library Wiki and found they had the appropriate links. No doubt this will be remedied in the near future.
I discovered that some other wikis in the big wide world require extra identification from people who want to edit them. People who vandalise and scam material are making this necessary. I wouldn't have thought that this was the case with Hot Issues at ECU Libraries

Adding wiki functionality to library catalogs would allow users to to make the entries more user friendly. e.g. Synopses and reviews of books as well as pictures of the cover for easy identification (especially with fiction in public libraries).

RSS feeds

Having set up my bloglines account I now have to have time to add to it and to read the information that arrives. As noticed elsewhere by participants we can spend a lot of time "surfing" looking for appropriate feeds.
Maureen is very good at making suggestions and she makes the exercises look easy as well. I'm still working on the "academic aspect" ebsco /emerald connections but at least I know how to do it. Time is important to make it second nature.

Dear all,
I've managed to get this far with the task at hand. Relatively easy if you can decide on a display name, blog name and address for same. I'm of the opinion that once something is down in black and white that it is set in stone. No doubt some of the exercies that we will be required to do will change my mind.
There are a lot of things even on this "creating blog comments page" that I need to explore, however we're only suppossed to spend 1/2-1 hour a week getting to grips with all this so our work doesn't suffer.
