It is one of the few havens remaining where a man\'s mind can get both provocation and privacy.

A good wiki or blog is creative! But on the other hand, not everything is for everybody. It's difficult for those of us who live on the computer at work to love the computer at home as well. What I look for in blogs and wikis are ways they afford me interactions, experiences that I never had before them. For example, Ravelry.com allows me to meet creative knitters, spinners, weavers, and crocheters from all over the world who are experimenting with their art every day. And allow me to share in their joy. My almost 77-year-old mother is fascinated by the 22-year-old men and women who design and dream of things that open a new world to her. Writing is creative! A good wiki or blog is creative!

In my opinion blogs and wikis are for people who want to write on blogs and wikis. On the other hand, sometimes when you try something new, that you're sure you won't like, leads you to something you love!

It brings to mind one of my older colleagues who had a young student come in and inquire about "Shakers." The colleague pulled out all kinds of reference books and materials on religions including Protestants and Quakers. Boy did her face turn red when the young girl said with an exasperated look on her face that "she was a cheerleader" and the "shakers" were actually pom-poms! It taught me a lesson that day that I never forgot. :-) When I was a new reference librarian almost 20 years ago and fresh out of library school I remember a mentor/teacher of mine telling me the importance of listening to a patron and doing a good reference “interview.”

She was reading Dr. Seuss' "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blus Fish. As she sat down to read one of my classmates noticed that she had on one red shoe and one blue shoe and one sock and one stocking. The class found this extremely funny (2nd graders) while the Librarian was very embarresses and turned very, very red.
