Official post 10 - Wiki'ing

This was a slightly boring 'thing' to explore....I'm pretty familiar with using Wikipedia, as a tool it can be a really useful way of collecting lots of knowledge in one place. I've used it lots when looking at anything comic book related (authors/artists/particular titles), as the comic book industry and fans seemed to have wholeheartedly embraced wiki technology. I looked at the suggested library links, and found them very informative......but thats wiki's all over, informative, but just not all that attractive or fun. How could we use wiki's in libraries? As they are so useful for collecting information....I think they could be useful for creating staff resources, perhaps for collecting and sharing info for a project (eg RFID? instead of update emails, all the info could be put into a wiki for staff to check on?) It could be a fun tool to use with the public, maybe to build book lists on a theme? customers could edit it to add their suggestions?
Hmmm, interesting....
