Quest 9 - wiki

I decided to check out Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki.

I think wikis are very int tools because so many people can contribute facts on things. But there is a negative to that, too. Just because someone contributes information on a certain subject, it does not make that information correct. I guess that all depends on the credibility of the person contributing the information.

I like the fact that email verification is needed to make adjustments to the Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki, though. It cuts down on the ability to post nonsensical things.

I also like the way wikipedia is set up, the categories and the different links you can click on in entries that will take you to other places with more information on whatever subject you're looking at. It is very organized.

I imagine this would be very useful for the reference section of the library.
