I checked out several of the Wikis listed. Of course we have been using Wikipedia for years. The hardest thing is getting our patrons to understand that ANYONE can add to the wiki and that often information is incorrect. I found that for my purposes the Library Success wiki at http://libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Main_Page will be an invaluable source for information.
I see that libraries can use wikis for a variety of purposes. In our library we've attempted to use a wiki for book discussion and writing sharing. We have had moderate success only. Most of htat success came in the summer when we were really pushing the wiki. Our main problem right now is getting the work out that we have a wiki. Right now we are attempting to host a Winter Teen Reading Club on our Wiki. We are working with Killeen Public Library to have a dual city club.
