New
Friday
Notes: notes for next week
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
"Netcraft's Web Server Survey reports that a large gain in web sites in October makes 2005 the strongest year ever
for Internet growth.
The web has added 17.5 million sites so far this year, eclipsing the
previous annual best of 16 million during the dot-com boom in 2000. And
that's with two months left in the year. Is this growth for real? Web
hosts targeting the small business market (like Yahoo Small Business
and Go Daddy) report that business is booming, suggesting that web-wary
local businesses are finally going online. But some of the the growth
is likely due to domain name business models, with speculators buying
large numbers of domain and placing advertising on them."

STAFF CHANGES: If you have staff
changes PLEASE let the LSA know, this is especially important in the
case of the library director/administrator, several libraries have lost
funding because the new person did not understand the importance of
certain paper work - you KNOW how it is when you first take over.

A wiki (pronounced: weekee [1]) is a web
application that allows users to add content, as on an Internet
forum, but also allows anyone to edit the content. The term Wiki
also refers to the collaborative software used to create such a
website (see Wiki software). It's a very effective way to
exchange information through collaborative effort.
From Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia.
