Week 4 thoughts

After digesting week 4's content and the previous weeks as well, I'm more and more excited about the use of wikis and less and less excited about using software like Second Life and MySpace. I think that the use of Second Life and MySpace by some libraries is great. Those libraries know their users and know that through the use of these tools they can connect with their users. Likewise, I know my library and my users and, as of yet, I don't think that the use of these tools would be worthwhile. Perhaps in the future, a MySpace account. Now, however, I'm going to focus on the tools that I feel can have an impact, most notably wikis. My proposal will involve the development of class research guides using wikis. This, most likely, will also lead to the use of RSS and delicious, as well.
