Wikis

Wikis are a good tool for communication between groups. I am already part of group that shares information. As this group is only open to invited members I feel confident about the content. But I am not sure how many people understand that Wikipedia is open to corruption.

RSS

What did I learn? That I will receive information on a regular basis but that I will have to learn to manage this information so that it does not become overwhelming. Will this technology save me time or will I find myself tied to the computer. Or do I get enough information from the 6pm news? I can see that with a certain amount of discrimination this could be a useful tool to alert students and library staff to new information out on the web. Or possibly channel this information to other interested staff.
