Thing # 16 - Wikis

A lot of interesting information on wikis. I can see where wikis can in used in the library possibly for book reviews, book clubs, different genres and an author wiki (ie. Stephenie Meyer), just to name a few. I learned that wikis are ways of collecting ideas, sharing knowledge and collaborating; however, since the content of a wiki can be edited and is prone to being subjective, or strongly influenced by opinion it may not be the most reliable source of information. On the other hand, when given as part of an assignment it would be a great way for student to develop and collaborate on a project.
