Wiki fun

I've been making my way through the Test Drive#3: Wikis tutorial. From the list of wikis to discover I visited Mint Museums wiki where I enjoyed some of the objects on display. The Library Success: a best practice wiki was very well set out and very informative. Hovever, Book Lovers wiki at the Princeton Public Library was my favourite. It seems a pity it wasn't continued.

I visited Wikipedia and checked out Brisbane and South Bank. I use Wikipedia a great deal in my job - I find it very useful checking on names for authority work when cataloguing and it gives extra information on the names searched.

This turorial was just the incentive needed to do some updating to our Monographs wiki which had been long overdue. With a workmate as 'driver', we updated a section on Legal deposit receipt printing. In the near future, I'll be the 'driver'. It certainly isn't rocket science.

At the moment this is the bridge to nowhere. But over the past few months the gap between the city side and Southbank side has gradually been narrowing. The approaches from Southbank have been joined to the pylon in the river, leaving only the gap in the middle of the river. No doubt, this gap will be closed over the coming weeks. Up on the 5th floor we have had a birds-eye view of proceedings.
