Wiki - Method 10

I was taught that "wikis" were NEVER to be used as an information source, although that has supposedly changed. Wikipedia has turned out to be a good reference to find out what book is next in a series like Hank the Cowdog.
The use of wiki’s for organizations is interesting and has the potential to be very useful. The library could use wikis to share information about special book collections, events or programs, book reviews, set agendas for up coming meetings, etc. This would also be great for those planned family get-to-gathers, like Thanksgiving, were everyone spends all their free time on the phone trying to connect with others about everything that is being planned for the holiday. The wiki would eliminate much of this hassle.
