#16 So What's a Wiki?

I had used Wikipedia before when it came up in a Google search to give me background information so I could conduct a more informed search about something I was not real familiar with. I did not feel good about using it as a sole source as it can, as was pointed put, be edited by anyone.

I like the examples given such as the ALA Conference wiki, Book Lovers Wiki, and the Library Success wiki. Each had a target audience, and most were based on someone's opinion or knowledge- most people would not take the entry as an authority on the topic.

I can see libraries getting alot of use out of wikis such as these - Customer book reviews, Library Success to share programs and ideals among library staff.
