Thing 15

I'VE BEEN USING WIKIPEDIA ENTRIES FOR A LONG TIME. I LOVE THE FORMAT OF WIKIPEDIA. I ESPECIALLY LIKE THE BREAKDOWN AND LINKS INCLUDED FROM WIKIPEDIA. I WAS A BIT SURPRISED THOUGH IN WORKING ON THING 15, TO LEARN THAT WIKIPEDIA IS A WIKI AND THERE ARE OTHER SITES (WIKI'S) LIKE IT! I FELT A BIT STUPID FOR NOT REALIZING THIS. I GUESS THOUGH ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF THINGS, I HAVE BEEN USING A WIKI WITHOUT EVEN REALIZING I HAD BEEN.

I LIKED EXPLORING SOME OF THE OTHER WIKI'S. THE LIBRARY SITES WERE COOL. THE BOOK LOVER'S WIKI WAS MY FAVORITE ON THE LIST. I RECOGNIZED SOME THAT I HAD READ AND READ WHAT OTHERS HAD THOUGHT OF THE BOOKS. I ALSO TRIED TO GET AWAY QUICKLY SO I WOULD NOT PICK UP ANY MORE BOOKS TO ADD TO MY LIST OF MUST READS, I HAVE TOO MANY AS IT IS.

I CAN DEFINITLY SEE HOW WIKI'S WOULD BE HELPFUL TO THE LIBRARY. SOME OF THE SUGGESTIONS THEY HAD, LIKE MAKING SUBJECT GUIDES OR COMMUNITY WIKI'S COULD BE HELPFUL. WIKIS WOULD ALLOW US TO GET MUCH MORE INPUT FROM OUR CUSTOMERS, AND ALSO USE THEIR KNOWLEDGE TO HELP OTHER CUSTOMERS. I ALWAYS LIKE WHEN I SEE CUSTOMERS HELPING EACHOTHER OUT AT THE SELF CHECKOUT. WIKI'S COULD BE SIMILAR IN HELPING OUR CUSTOMERS HELP OTHER CUSTOMERS.
