Thing #12 WIKIS

I think using wikis within the library for staff members workng on a project, planning an event or an activity would be beneficial with everyone having the opportunity to add, edit or even delete information. Sometimes arranging a meeting with all interested parties is hard to plan but with wikis anyone could contribute information and add to the discussion.
I like the idea of libraries using Wikis as a place for community resources to be displayed, discussed, edited, added to or completely deleted by members of the community. This would help libraries become a center for information in their local community.
Wikis could work well for organizations, clubs or individuals interested in the same topic, event or activity.
The only problem I see is people who would add or change things or information inappropiately or inaccurately.
I edited and made comments on neflins23things.pbwiki.com.
