Thing 16: Wikis in and out of the library

I like Wikis. I have been using Wikipedia for some time now. I even got away with using it as a source for a few college papers (it can be good for basic biographical info or definitions). I like that wikis are easy to update, they should be a good way to find out about new developments. They seem to be increasingly accurate too. I finally believed James Brown was dead when I read it on wikipedia.
I think library related wikis are a good idea too. People can get good book recommendations without even coming inside a library. It might be good to look at the way other libraries have done things to get ideas about how we should do things.
