#16 Wiki'd - so what's in a Wiki

For some reason I really like the idea of wikis, though I feel this is more a political stance - at the moment - than a cultural or social one. One of the problems is of course accuracy, or the lack of disinterestedness. But as historiographers always seems to point out, there is no such thing as a truly factual account of anything. So what the hey...

I looked at a couple of the library wikis;

• http://booklovers.pbwiki.com/Princeton%
• http://libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Main_Page

Both were interesting, though the Princeton site seemed more dedicated to providing an open resource for books (you think??!), while Library Success was more skewed towards aspects of actually being a librarian. Again - I would really like more time to follow this up, and will certainly return to these wikis as a source of information and inspiriation for library users.
