thing 16 / wikis

I've always thought wikis were great fun - - as a part of the social web, this is one of my favorites. I've worked with wikis before and find entries on the wikipedida helpful in reference. I might be one of the few reference librarians (?) who think it's a great tool and use it when answering questions - it certainly has its strengths.

I just came back from the PLA conference and Joe Janes said something to this effect - if you don't like wikipedia, fix it. There are lists of entries that need to be created - who better than librarians to write them? Akin to "don't vote? don't bitch." - 'nuff said.
