Adding to a Wiki
Adding to wiki is as easy as pie. All you have to do is edit type as if you were in a word document and save. Its just as if you were writing a paper except you only have to do however much you choose. The VBPL Reader's Advisory was very easy to add to and it was fun to look at because i am a blurb woman. I can read the blurb on the back or the jacket of a book and be drawn in so seeing others writing about there favorite books was fun for me. I posted Octavia Butler's Kindred i read it in high school and enjoyed it. It was something different than the regular reading for high schoolers. Adding to the wiki was a piece of cake it was point ,click type and save. To me people that come to the library come for reference but they come for the easiest reference to them. also i feel that if someone learns about something and they really enjoyed learning that they will continue their research on there own time. The operative sentence being on their own time and with wiki you can change something at 6 am or add something at 12pm. It is just so easily available to people and honestly the easier the better. I am all for library's and change. When i was young i thought all librarians had buns, pointy noses, a line skirts and just shushed shows how wrong i was library employees are full of people with knowledge that they can share whether it is on the library wiki or a wiki of there choosing.
