Wikis, Step 16

As I wrote earlier, I'd like to see Wikis in use at HPL. I think that they could help us out with efficiently sharing information and increasing staff productivity. The only Wiki that I visited that I wasn't sure about was the one for the Bull Run Library. I don't seem to understand its purpose.

Two ideas from this exercise. If I need to train staff or the public to use Wikis, I might have them create Wikipedia accounts. Another idea -- I think we should have a Hartford Public Library entry on Wikipedia -- practice for us in working with Wikis and, I think, higher placement in Google searches. This is a link to the Wikipedia page for New Haven Free Public Library. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Haven_Free_Public_Library

I have to keep moving, if I am going to complete the exercises on time.
