wikis

I explored quite a few wikis....what's funny is I'm always telling library customers not to rely on the information on wikipedia because it's not considered scholarly. But I find that wikis do serve many purposes. I especially like the idea of sharing thoughts and reviews on books. That would certainly work for a library's reading discussion group. I also liked the way wikis work collaborately...where each member of a specified group can share information with each other. The ALA conference wiki is a great example. I also see this in an academic format with study groups, etc.
