Wikis

I know how to use Wikipedia soon after I learn how to use google to search information online. Usually, the address of Wikipedia website shows up on the top of the first page and it does offer some useful information that I wanted. However, in school, some of my teachers do not like the students quote articles from Wikipedia in classes because they doubt the credibility of Wikipedia. Therefore, I have never quoted any article to my paper in school. On the contrary, my husband likes Wikipedia and uses it to find history or science information everyday. He thinks Wikipedia is very useful and the content is generally accurate. It can be used as the first step to search information and we can always search other sources if any doubts arise. In this Learning 2.0, I have learned more about what Wiki is and how it beneifts its community and users. By reading Discovery Resources, I was amazed how Wiki efficiently works in the field of library information science. I like Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki. Because I'd like to learn more technologies and services about library to improve my ability as a qualified library staff, library wikis are wonderful communities that could enrich my knowledge and share others' successful experience and stories. However, I had not tried to edit on any Wiki before, so SPPL Learning 2.0 sandbox wiki became my first experience to edit. I put my Blog on Favorite Blog and add a book on Favorate Book, too. It's a fun and simple way to communicate with groups.
