Searching through the ABC site http://www.abc.net.au/radio/, I found this a very interesting story on Townsville City mobile library. A video on the driving mobile library weekly trip to Magnetic Island. It also gives a commentary from the staff and the clients that use the service. By clicking the following link, you can read the full story yourself. I think it's well worth the visit http://www.abc.net.au/local/audio/2012/02/08/3426082.htm

Wiki Experience
I have just experienced using a Wiki page for the first time. The pages have been created using the web site "PBWORKS" which can be accessed by clicking on the following link http://pbworks.com/.
I have practised editing a page, and created a new page with a brief review of a recently read book. Like most sites, this site was a bit confusing to begin with. Once I got used to it, it was reasonably simple to carry out the basic functions such as editing an existing page and creating a new page. Navigating through the pages was reasonably easy with links available on screen. It also allows you to very simply link any pages together making it even easier for readers to navigate between pages.
In summary, this site appears reasonably simple to use.
