Wikis are essentially open web-pages , where anyone registered with the wiki can publish,amend and change it. Much as blogs , they are not of the same reliability as traditional resources, but this does not eliminate their value and we should not avoid using them all together. Users should understand the 'free -range nature' of wikis and be critical in depending on them.
Wikis as items in a Library collection, and the instruction of users in the evaluation of them, are almost certainly part of the future of libraries. A library wiki as a service can enable social interaction among librarians and patrons. Users share information, ask questions, answer questions within the wiki, and the record of this interaction is referenced for archival purposes. P.H.,G.H.,C.R.
