Wiki's Wow...

Wow, I can't believe it was so easy to edit a wiki. It's a little sacry I admit, because I think of all the scary additions or changes someone with bad intentions could do to a page of say treatments for a major medical disease.

But I think, in as far as libraries go, that wikis can be very useful tools when it comes to keeping track of series orders or for encouraging people to read, review and add their reviews on a wiki page. This would be a good opportunity also to teach the importance of double-checking facts and the responsibility that comes with sharing information on the internet.
