There was interesting talk about 'putting Wiki functionality into the Catalogue' by allowing book reviews, synopsis, etc into the Library Cat.
But can we trust the untrained to clutter up catalogues with their own reviews? Would this risk slowing down access time? Is this response time also a factor with uploading book covers or other picture info to Cat. records?
The Library here, courtesy of Goksu, now has its own Wiki.
Trying to complete Task 17 - struck some snags - see following text of email for help to Tanya Mohr:
Hi Tanya – can’t find anyone else to ask just now so hope you can help.
I’m trying to complete the Wiki task 17 by adding my own page to the Wiki. I thought I’d add a favourites page on music I like.
First I don’t understand the instruction on the 23 things page as follows:
Add your blog to the Add Your Blog Here page. That's how we'll know that you've been there. It’s easy to do if you follow this simple syntax:
Format: URL link - Title of blog
e.g. http://plcmclearning.blogspot.com - Learning 2.0
- I don’t know what this means or how to ‘follow the syntax’, and when I click on the ‘Add your Blog here’ link I’m taken to a blank Wiki page with a login box, if I click on this or ‘Edit Page’ I go to a login page which asks for a Wiki Password/Invite Key, which I don’t have.
If I click on ‘Sandbox’ I’m taken to the Learning 2.0 Wiki page that has :
1. Add your Blog here and
2. lists of other peoples’ Favourites’
If I click ‘Add your Blog here’ I go to a page that has other peoples’ blogs, but I still don’t know how to add my own.
Cheers,
