Well, I can now say I understand what a wiki is. I definitely see how they can be of use. People always want the latest news, information, gossip, etc. and wiki sites seem to be somewhere one can get it fast. My only concern is that the information found may not be completely correct. So I would adviseusing discretion, always taking into account where said information is coming from.
I looked into a couple of the sites listed. I really enjoyed browsing around the Book Lovers wiki. I like the idea of reviews written by a number of different people. I will continue to check out this site when I need a book to read or listen to. I already found some great titles to add to my "to read" list on LibraryThing.
I have used the Pals wiki for sometime now. I use it to keep up with the goings on of Millennium Cataloging. I check to see when cataloging meetings are scheduled, print out any of the meeting handouts I may have missed, sign up for any cataloging programs I want to attend and so much more. It is a valuable tool for library employees.
I also looked around Library Success: A best practices wiki. I can definitely see how librarians would want to check out this site to either get or give information.
