Hello Wikis

Well on to test drive no 3 and we are looking at wikis. Have had a look at Slq library 2.0: Emerging Media and New Technology Wiki and I looked at last years report and looked at Ann's contributional thread. I added one of my own. I found this wiki very user friendly and was comfortable with the outlook.

The second wiki site was Wookieepedia, which I enjoyed looking at a different language. I am a Star Wars fan and enjoyed the movie but this was way over the average fans head. If felt as though it was a different time and language. I did enjoy the link to the Lego Star Wars site as my husband and daughter are big fans of the lego range of games for Wii. My husband and I are thinking of getting this game as he is finished the Lego Indiana Jones saga. Of course he is buying it for his daughter, right!!!! She is nearly 5 years of age and never heard of Star Wars. I enjoyed the part where the focus on one character and I learnt what her roll in the saga was and how she fit in the original storyline even though I hadn't heard of her before. It was interesting and I will share the link for the Lego game with my husband, Andrew.

The third wiki I looked at was Possible Next Generation Catalogs, which was interesting as I could search library catalogs on them. This was surprising as I did not expect to search library catologues on a wiki. There were a lot to choose from on the home page maybe a bit too much of a choice. It is a very broad subject to put on a wiki.

Thats all for now of Wikis
