Thing Twelve

I enjoyed Thing Twelve. Loved looking at Book Lovers wiki, Albany Co. PL's staff wiki and Blogging Libraries wiki. All were easy to use, contained some useful and interesting info. Blogging Libraries was fun cuz of the myriad libraries listed -- neat to look at what everyone's up to. I posted on NEFLIN's wiki which took about 2 seconds; it was incredibly easy. Kinda scary easy. Which is my only concern with the wiki concept. Excellent way to communicate info to a group, pass on ideas, get ideas, plan. But, I'm not a fan of using wikis for in-depth research. Who knows who put what in the body of the text, you know? There are so many excellent reference sources available for research, so use them. Save the wikis for the group planning, ideas exchange, that kind of thing.

    You're stalling progress :) haha, just kidding. I know, wikis are not reliable, but they ARE neat! Maybe they should have a disclaimer right up front "research at your own risk."
