The possibilties using Wikis seem endless and the opportunties to edit without laboring on html make them extremely useful. With Wikis students can be enlisted as partners in their own education experience. How cool is that!
Using the current 24/7 wikis on the library web site has allowed us to create and update information in a very organized and efficient manner. As the wiki host allows for more "bells and whistles" the wiki pages will become more visually appealing. It looks like a great future for Wikis and Oakton.

RSS Feed Experience
Working on the RSS Feed was worthwhile. Syndication of resources is a useful to save time and put a number of resources right at your fingertips. Julia has been very helpful in coaching my RSS lift-off.

Blogging
My first attempt at blogging was a bit confusing as I didn't save my first draft and used the back button and the entire text disappeared so I wrote it again.

My Library World
Hello,
My name is Rose Novil and I am a Professor of Library Services. I mostly work at the Skokie Campus. I have been working at Oakton for about seven years.
My first library job was as a catologer at the Newberry Library on the near north side of Chicago.
If you love books, the Newberry is fantasyland. There you can peek into history and read books that first came off the Gutenberg press from the 1500's. A wonderful thing happened to me while I was there...I found this adorable, cuddly black kitten in the parking lot and Eros (that was his name) lived with me for 18 years. The Newberry is open to the public. Go there some time.
My next job was at Columbia College Library where I got to dabble in the arts. From there I went to Chicago Public Library and worked at the main library downtown. I worked in the Education Dept., the Information Center where we answered hundreds of quick reference inquiries and interlibrary loan.
My next stop was National-Louis University where I stayed almost 20 years.
What I have learned from working at all these types of libraries is how much I love them!
