Until I read about/watched this "thing", I had no idea what a wiki was. Yes I had visited the Wikipedia site on probably hundreds of occasions searching for information for customers, but had no idea that it was a wiki.
I can see the many benefits of wikis but I can also see that the "authority" of the information found on these sites might not be as accuate as information on some other sites.
The most useful thing that I saw, while playing with wikis, that could be implemented into our library website was on the Princeton Public Library's site found at http://booklovers.pbwiki.com/Princeton%20Public%20Library
It is the ability for anyone to put book reviews for others to read. This would be especially useful for bookclubs and the like as well as the general customer, looking for things to read that interest them, as it is well known you can't judge a book by it's cover, as more and more books are now being published without blurbs.
