Yes I finished the 25 things.
I found some of the sites far too busy and just full of what I call information overload.
I think with wikis, texting, blogs and e-mail we are losing the art of face to face communication.

Exercise 19
Wiki
I viewed the video and read the articles about wiki.
It is interesting to see what people write.
I wouldn't personally use it for information.
The drawbacks mentioned in the articles include wikis being too open, disorganized, open to span and vandalism.
Benefits include the quick editing of information.
I like the idea of adding and editing information in a quick fashion.
Libraries could use it for book clubs, book lists, pathfinders and developing subject headings for topics.

Exercise 17
Read 2 perspectives on web 2.0
Changes will occur in the future about roles of libraries in communities.
Interesting that Rick Anderson Director of Resource Acquisition,University of Nevada, Reno Libraries indicated the following:
In my library, we’ve seen a 55 percent drop in circulation rates over the past twelve years, making it harder and harder to justify the continued buildup of a large “just in case” print collection.
I had the impression that there has been in fact an increase in library circulation - eg TPL , and WPL .
