Wikis

I personally already loved wikis before this lesson. I use wikipedia on school reports all the time, whether they like it or not (they have an issue with the "anyone can edit" thing about it), and tons of wikis are made on homebrew apps and video games for my consoles all the time. That said, I can't really think of something that this feature would work well for libraries... Anything that the library needs to post shouldn't really need to be edited by the people all the time...the only thing this would benefit would be if the library wants to create a hub for something it didn't know much about. I don't know. I do know that I love wikis.

Library 2.0

I haven't really understood until now why we were doing this, I just enjoyed it and didn't ask questions. Now though I think that I get it. We are doing this so that we can better service to our customers who will be using the new technologies available, and so we need to be able to help them with them, or at least understand them. So, this whole thing is trying to keep up with the consumer, and keep them coming back for more.
