Week 7 - Thing # 16 - Wikis

Just recently I heard a co-worker talking about starting a wiki after attending ALA. That would be one way to keep the conversations that were started at ALA continuing, especially since people come from all over to attend ALA. A group of people that have a common interest would benefit from a wiki.Committees and sub-committees within the library could use wikis to brainstorm ideas too. It enables people to voice their opinions as well as learn from someone else's opinions. I think there is a lot of information that could be had from a wiki, but I think it would be hard for the person in charge of the wiki to keep up with the new postings and verify the information given.I can see Libraries using wikis as a Reader's Advisory service for the public.
