...more Wiki Week 2

I still think we should have a staff wiki for updates, input and suggestions. It might also be handy to have a public patron wiki to use as a public suggestion box sort of thing. I'd be a little nervous as to what some people may write though. I'm not sure there's a way to filter some stuff that comes through.

Wiki Week 2

Well, I think I figured out how to edit a wiki page. I found my entry under "recent activities" for the Port Orchard wiki page. I'm hoping that is where it was supposed to show up. Overall, I guess I have an understanding of how wikis work having had exposure to them from previous jobs. I guess it's not so intimidating, although I'm still not really into the editing of wikis. They can be enjoyable and informative to read, but that's about all I'm interested in.

Wikis Week 1

For the Wiki Week 1 assignment I had a hard time trying to come up w/ any super creative wiki ideas. But I do think an online suggestion box sort of thing would be great! This could be anything pertaining to working within the library that only library staff had access to. Ideas such as how to do things more efficiently, cleanliness issues within the work environment or general daily updates.

week 9 YouTube

I think YouTube will come in very handy. I looked up info on watercolor painting and they had several demonstrations available for me to watch. I was thrilled with that. I also watched a demo on how to shear sheep...not that I will need that any time soon. But it was neat to watch. I was able to successfully find the KRL fish story and watched videos on book cart drill teams. That was an interesting sight! They almost looked like profession drill cart teamsters! Some people, I think, have too much time on their hands!
