HOORAY, I have my home computer back.
Although I have used Wikipedia before I had only skimmed the surface. On further inspection I found that there is a vast array of information stored. I did a quick search on Debra Byrne (I'm reading her autobiography at the moment), from here it leads you onto other subjects which in turn lead to further subjects and so on.
I also checked out some of the "sister projects", proverbs, quotations, species, etc.
I also had a look at some of the library wikis, these appear to be a good way of sharing information for both users and staff. I couldn't open the NZ Police Act Wiki, but did have a look at the NZ Government Wiki.
It appears that you need a special programme to create a Wiki, perhaps in a one person library it could create a lot of work, as it would need to be kept very up to date but would probably be very useful.
It also appears you need to create an account to add/up-date in Wiki, my question is how accurate is the information given, I'm assuming that if you have access you can add any information, anyway I'm still having a play around with Wikipedia.
I also created a Rollo account and started to play around with my favourite urls. So far it looks great being able to narrow my search to my favourite and most useful web pages.
Anyway, again I am going to go back to have another play around with Rollo. (phew...I'd forgotten how different using my laptop computer was..making lots if errors when typing but must press on)..Jenny
