#16 Wikis

Have had a look at quite a few of things and can see that they could be used in a library contest - particularly for book discussion groups. Would also be a great way to get people involved in reviewing books and highlighting what they are reading. I do agree that the strengths of a wiki can also be the major weaknesses. The fact that I can make up some kind of weird cure for cancer and put it out there for all to read, without the need to be able to back up my claims worries me. No matter how good an editor of a wiki is it will still be open for abuse. We do, however, have to remind ourselves that not all published books are correct either!
