I think that we already discussed wikis at the beginning of this exercise. The discovery for thing 16 was to learn about Wikis, particularly Confluence, which is where the SLA Wiki is. I have already signed up for Confluence and linked to the (still blank) wiki page in a previous post. I also mentioned using pbworks wiki with Education classes here at USF. It is a great way to have students complete projects and enable other students to share the lesson plans and research after the class is over, while still allowing the instructor to have access and follow progress. I can see this as very useful in an education environment.
I also think that a wiki would be useful in the library environment for keeping up with material, if each librarian posted thoughts about books- say in the Young Adult section- then all of the librarians could access info and know what the book was about without everyone having to read every book.
Thing 17 was to sign in and add to your home page on the Confluence Wiki for SLA 23 things. And, done.
