The Youtube video by Commoncraft videos, demonstrating wikis made the idea of wikis extremely easy to understand. Wikis are useful for organising information in a central location for contributors to refer to, add to, edit and update.
In a library setting, book reviews and suggested titles with links to catalogue records, I think many people would find very useful. Could it work the other way with catalogue records linking to wikis?
When you mention wikis, people often think of Wikipedia. My concern with such a site is that anyone can edit it, so how accurate is it? Many school children may accept it as an encyclopedia, when infact it is not an authoritative reference. It could be useful for searching for new ideas but not for a source of accurate information.
