Thing #16 is playing around in the wiki sandbox.
As I have mentioned before, wikis rule! So, the Learn and Play Wiki is totally cool, because it is all about talking about your favorite things and finding out about the favorite things of those people you work with everyday. Who knew? I keep finding out things that I have in common with tons of people, and before now, I had no idea.
I posted on the Beaches page.
Myrtle Beach is my favorite. My family goes most every year to a beautiful resort called Ocean Creek.
Favorite movies? The top of my list is anything starring John Cusack. He is one handsome devil. Check out his filmography. Over 50 films spanning over 20 years. Any other Cusack fans out there? Which film is your favorite?
I hope to spend some more time exploring the learn and play wiki. Dig in. There are treasures waiting to be discovered. Pass me that shovel, would ya?

Thing #15-Wiki, Wiki, Wiki
That is how my husband says Wiki, while he pretends that he is scratching a record. He cracks himself up.
Like Delicious, I was first introduced to Wikis in my 2.0 workshop in grad school. Once I discovered the benefits, there was no turning back.
We recently used the Libsuccess Wiki to find libraries offering IM services, so we could check out what others were doing as we started our IM project. It was easy to find, because this Wiki takes everything libraries and puts it all in once place, and it is completely searchable.
We also created a project wiki for our IM project. We posted all the assignments there and had the participants complete the assignments and post their results to the Wiki. We had a place for questions and answers. That way the whole group could participate in the discussion without creating a neverending e-mail chain. It has worked great. Everything is in one place, and it is completely searchable.
The library Information Line staff has also created an internal Wiki for collecting everything CML. Since we take all the calls for the Main library and all 20 branches, we collect a lot of "need to know." The Wiki allows us to organize all that information without filling up notebooks, bulletin boards and drawers with paper. It has a cool name too. "The Wiki Mart." And, it is completely searchable! Have I mentioned that? No more trying to remember where you put that flyer with all the info you need right now.
What am I trying to say here? Wikis rule!
