Editing a Wiki
So, I finally got around to editing the staff wiki. I couldn't believe how easy it was. I cleared a bunch of stuff of of my collection development list and added one new item. It was just like working in a word processing program. I didn't have to put any strange characters or code in; I just started typing. I also deleted Strat's from the list of local restaurants on our Local Ready Reference page, seeing as how the place no longer exists here in Franklin Park. With Vanessa's assistance, I learned how easy it was to add links to the wiki. I added two links to the Collection Development page. I added a link to All Music Guide and another to Billboard Music Charts. I find both of these sites very useful in finding new music releases and which albums and artists are popular on the charts in all genres. I am definitely glad that we no longer have to use brackets and type out the url in order to create a link. Now that I know how easy it is to update the wiki, I won't be so hesitant to add to it. Once I revamp the Interlibrary Loan procedures, I would like to have those posted on the wiki so that everyone will have access to them. I am really finding all of the technology that we have learned about useful and fun. The only problem is finding (or making) the time to just sit down and play with it.

It's great that you've learned more about the wikis, and thanks for correcting the outdated material. That'll be nice to have more ILL info up for everyone to read.
I'm glad that pbwiki changed their editing tools; it was so difficult to use before!
Sounds like Sarah is a convert!
Congratulations You lost the Big 5 0, we are all proud of you.
