Thing 16: Wikis

I've used wikis in the past and know how they're used. The concept is great IF you have a good established community. Meaning: a core group of people who will contribute on a regular basis. Otherwise, it will quickly fade. Having said that, I think that with a dedicated community, it would be great use for libraries and librarians. I think the book reviews and suggested readings for one, would be a great help to librarians as well as our customers. Actually, any type of pathfinder would be helpful--as long as it's kept current!
