#16 what's in a wiki

The articles and examples of wikis are interesting. In the core competencies article I enjoyed the statement that the disadvantage is the same as the wiki's advantage. In other words, that the wikis users are its authors. Applications that may work well include library staff websites, where everyone, (not just those with "permission or the techies" can create websites. Also, I think applying wikis to subject guides can represent the interests of users as well as a method of sharing special resources with users. The idea of a space for collaborative work groups (especially those creating documents) as an alternative to (too many) emails is a great idea.
