16th Thing - Wikis

16th Thing - Wikis:
Oh Wikis, not to be believed necessarily but quick references! I wonder if George Bush's wiki is the most edited at Wikipedia? I recall recently how several universities had to forbid students to use Wikipedia as a source for papers. I was astounded that college students didn't know that the information wasn't reliable. Or maybe they did and it was just a quick reference.
A statewide youth services committee that I'm on is using pbwiki for our project work, signing on with passwords. Applications for Pamunkey - perhaps the Customer Service Guidelines project ;-) And speaking of true community readers' advisory, imagine the ability of any reader adding content to the catalog which OCLC is testing now!
