Stiki Wiki

While I have found every week of Project Play to be informative, this might be the week where I will take the information and put it to immediate use. My Adult Services department has been charged with adapting/rewriting our Internet Acceptable Use Policy. I already knew that we wouldn't be able to find the time to sit down as a department and work on this face to face. I also knew that email would be too cumbersome. I started the conversation on our departmental blog, but now I'm convinced that a Wiki is the answer. I've already signed us up at PBWiki and am waiting for the email confirmation. I think this will be the perfect way for us to collaborate!

As for the assignment, I really had to look hard for a Wikipedia page that didn't already have the library linked. I tried the library where I work (Menasha), used to work (Neenah), and live (Oshkosh), but they all had links. So, I started to think of other Wisconsin cities. Apparently, as a librarian, my mind works alphabetically because now the good folks at the Antigo Public Library will find a link for their library in Wikipedia. You're welcome! :)

I also played around in the sandbox a little bit, adding a couple of my favorite authors (Jim Harrison, Jonathan Carroll, Wallace Stegner) and titles to the long list of contributions.
