#16 Wikis

Wikis seem like a good way of allowing people to create shared sites with common information that can constantly be updated and edited as required.
I really liked the SJCPL Subject Guides wiki-I think something along these lines is a great library resource. The fact that it had website links, library resources and direct links back to the library catalogue is really great-I also liked the book covers that were included, similar to LibraryThing.
I guess the main thing we need to remember is that anyone can edit the material on Wikis, so it may not always be authoritative.

Wikis..great for so many things, but always on the cautious side because of the power to edit.
