Wikis???

I haven't used Wikis much but was pleased a few days ago when I found the list of Redwall books in Wikipedia more easily than on Brian Jacques website. How can a library use it? Not totally sure, but perhaps Book Club members could post comments about books they have read. It would be interesting to see what everyone likes to read and how they have enjoyed books that I have read.

Test Post

I feel like I have been launched into a whole new world. I have a strong urge to try to keep up with technology even though my natural aptitude is not so strong. However the efforts will be worth it so as to keep up with the younger generation i.e. my children and grandchildren. Knowing some of the latest communication techniques will keep me connected to the current ways of the world. Learning all these new technical strategies is also a way of keeping my mind active and sharp(er). I find keeping up with things very difficult as everything moves so fast and changes quickly. I no sooner get used to a way doing things and it all changes again. Now I am faced with a new way of socializing. Some of it concerns me because I hope society will not lose the benefits of real social interaction and satisfy itself with typed messages, taped voices, and digital photos.
