Wiki Wiki! - Thing 9

Wikis could be useful for things like handbooks and guides. Processing instructions that change on a fairly regular basis could be included, along with shared tips for implementing new applications.
I'm a little skeptical about Wikipedia since entries can be changed so easily. Knowing that there's a vetting procedure makes me feel a little better. If it's used as a starting point for research, with an understanding that there are more scholarly sources available, it's okay. Verifying information is always critical.

See the shared Google doc for my comments.

Social Bookmarking and Tagging - Thing 7

Opening a delicious account was fairly simple. I agree with others, however, who have noticed how crowded the browser becomes with each new add-on. Having shared Pollak Library bookmarks or ones for individual sections could help library users focus their searches. I wonder though if we lose something in consistency in having individuals creating their own tags. How cumbersome will this become as lists of words grow without standardization?

Beyond Internet Explorer - Thing 6

I've successfully added LibX to Firefox and also the add-on for the current and forecasted weather. Being able to check the library catalog from the Firefox browser is a handy feature.
