Wiki Maze

Thanks to the folks at WikiMatrix! I wonder how an individual can keep track of all these wikis!

Any way, it’s good to know how many different kinds of collaborative tools are out there.

So much can be done with these applications. I like the SJCPL Subject Guiide.

Libraries can use wikis to interest patrons in library programs as well as books by asking them for feedback through these tools. Patrons can also be encouraged to create their own content. They can write book reviews and comment on services and give suggestions for service improvements.

But there is so much information around. So my concern with all these is when does information redundant?

RSS Feeds and Readers

WordPress comes with RSS widget which you have to actually select to show up on your blog. Mine is activated. This means anyone can potentially subscribe to this blog. That should save visitors a lot of time. They won’t feel disappointed if I don’t post something new.

I subscribed to the Google Reader. Really cool. I have my own shared public site. Check it out.
