Wikis

It was interesting to learn that Wikis are used in Universities, school settings, libraries,etc.
There are many types of libraries and librarians; A library wiki community may be useful to coordinate library meetings, programs, material selection and resources for example, when communication or collaboration is necessary to the staff. Wikis significant to a specific community that share resources and services can help staff and patrons work together, assuming they work within guidelines and etiquette significant to the wiki community.
Sometimes, I kick-start research with Wikipedia. I do not exclusively rely upon it for information needs because of user input content so I don't trust it completely. However, it is extremely useful to shed light on a topic, and often can be as good as an encyclopedia.

F.Y.I. A spot check of the accuracy of Wikipedia is discussed in the following blog:
