Wicked Wikis

The technology of the wiki makes it a very useful tool for libraries and book clubs. The ability to edit another's work means the accuracy of the information can become strengthened after each new idea is added.
I also thought that its use as a social space for exchanging information is very significant in our community, and this could be applied to all different sectors of the library. Whether used as a bookclub type space, or as a community noticeboard, or even as a mode of communication between library staff and their patrons, the wiki offers seemingly endless possibilities.
