Wikis and Libraries

Wikis can be very handy for Librarys and for project planning among libraries. Unfortunately, Wikis used as fonts of information usually discovered by Google search don't always contain accurate information. Since many people can add to the Wiki at any time, and without anyone exercising quality control, the content is often suspect. Nevertheless, it can make for fast updating of information and correction of errors among participants who are knowledgeable and actively participating in the information gathering process.
