Paparazzo's New Friend

Bellringer told Paparazzo about a man he knew from his childhood days who had become a Jesuit priest. This priest had risen thru the Church hierarchy meteorically, and was now Pope Insolent XXXXIII. Paparazzo sighed "But how can I, a simple anti-aircraft gunner, become a Jesuit and a priest?" So Bellringer told him a bit about his background. Insolent started life as a librarian who had emigrated to a far-off country called New Zealand. He'd obviously been a favourite friend of Bellringer's, because Bellringer produced a song he had written from his knapsack. It was about a collection of weird people who must have worked at the library where he was employed at the time and was called 'All the Happy People'. However Bellringer swore Paparazzo to secrecy after he'd read the poem, which (he said) must not be revealed under the direst form of torture (which was a shame, because it was very funny and very subversive.) Pope Insolent had chosen his name well!

Wicked wikis

A wiki is a collaborative website and authoring tool that allows users to easily add, remove and edit content.Wikipedia, the online open-community encyclopedia, is the largest and perhaps the most well known of these knowledge sharing tools. With the benefits that wikis provide, the use and popularity of these tools is exploding.Some of the benefits that make wikis so attractive are:
Anyone (registered or unregistered, if unrestricted) can add, edit or delete content.
Tracking tools within wikis allow you to easily keep up on what been changed and by whom.
Earlier versions of a page can be viewed and reinstated when needed.
And users do not need to know HTML in order to apply styles to text or add and edit content. In most cases simple syntax structure is used.
As the use of wikis has grown over the last few years, libraries have begun to use them to collaborate and share knowledge. Among their applications are pathfinder or subject guide wikis, book review wikis, conference wikis and even library best practices wikis.
