thing 17

i posted in the wiki sandbox - okay - and added my blog

in doing thing 17, there was a lot of back and forth - making sure i'm doing what i'm supposed to for 17. i still wish instructions were not so verbose...

wiki's could be useful for committee and group projects - obviously. i haven't had a use for them though - i should say yet. i wish we could use these applications more for committee and group meetings - it would save so much in travel time and gas money, and i could still kind of be in the branch. i've used things like aol chat for njla committee meetings several years ago, and i never had a problem with it - i know some people don't even like the idea - i have no idea why, i mean - i have my ideas about why but there isn't a point to writing them out here. online meetings are easy, the entire meeting is fully documented, and it would cut out road travel completely. hello!

I'm sorry you found the instructions verbose. There were some comments that earlier things were confusing so I guess Sally and I went overboard on this one making sure every detail was explained.
What do you think about a Reference Providers wiki for OCL?
bjc for the committee

a wiki for reference providers would be fantastic, a really great idea - building on what TR info services has on our intranet now. i would love to see something like that. the trouble with long web challenge postings is that most people don't have a lot of time to spend on the web challenge - so they want to get to the task, do it, and blog about it.
