Thing #16 - Wikis

Wikis are neat. I haven't had much experience with them before, with the exception of Wikipedia and a wiki that I had to add to for a final project in college. I spent some time going through the Library Success wiki and some of the reader's advisory sites like Princeton Public Library's Book Lovers Wiki. I think that these are great uses for wikis, and I have a feeling this is one of the Things that will really prove even more useful in the library community as it catches on more. My library's Interlibrary Loan Coordinator created an ILL wiki for staff that is very helpful for us with FAQs about ILLs, and I'm sure we could put this idea to use in many other areas.
