As we approach the end of this exercise, I can actually say I've learned lots of new stuff. Again, if I had a home application it would be more profitable for me. The world it is a changin'. Since I work in acquisitions and technical processes, I do not have the public interaction of many of the other employees.
Wikis are a great tool for libraries. It's nice to see everyone has the opportunity to contribute to a local site. I enjoyed the ALA wiki to see local restaurants, conference schedules, not-to-be-missed things.
I find it interesting that on some sites anyone can edit the information. When the Internet first became popular, I heard many people use it as if it was the only accurate information and certainly the most current. It was very difficult to convince them otherwise. The applications are nearly limitless. I encourage librarians with "inquiring minds" to really go for it.
