Yep I have indeed uploaded my pet picture on the VUlibrary wiki. It is a drawing of my previous moggie. Her name is Molly. Click on the picure to link to the Wiki.

Wikis are useful, but you would not use them as a source of primary information. I have made use of information from Wikis (most particularly Wikipedia) many times. My Duggup blog devoted to the review of music often requires me to follow up on band information. It is rare for nothing to exist about a band or musician except for a Wiki entry, usually it is the other way around.

Take everything you read with a grain or two of the proverbial and you are unlikely to go wrong.

The next generation of library services; shared resources, collaboration and community building are an exciting prospect. A step in the right direction is the wonderful collaboration between some Victorian university libraries and some from interstate called Bonus +. This is a valuable and logical extension to inter library loans.

I have used this service quite a few times and it is wonderful. Now all we need to do is to get more libraries involved.

Going to be briefer – running out of time.
