Week 7 : #16 So what's in a wiki?

I think Wiki's are a great way to share information. You would have to try to monitor the content being added but on a whole I really like the idea. Just looking at the "Library Success : A best practices wiki" you can see how you can use this tool for virtually any subject to do with libraries. A disadvantage I can see is that because anyone can add to a wiki the content could be subjective and only the authors opinion on the subject. I would not use a wiki as my sole source of information for this reason. On the whole though for sharing information, book reviews, training ideas......the list is endless, I think wiki's are a fantastic way to share information.
