23 Things Item #16 Wikis

We've all used Wikipedia. It is interesting to see wikis used by libraries. The Bull Run Library's wiki actually links to Merlin and Libraries 2.0! And it's a Prince William, Virginia libary!

I think wiki's are great for finding very current informaion. It's is also good for finding very obscure information. Since anyone can contribute the information, it can be hard to judge its authority. Often I try to verify the info in a wiki by trying to find it in another source.
