Activity 16: What's in a wiki?

Wikipedia is what I know. Looking up the library wikis gave me a better understanding of how libraries can use this tool. Library managers get access to the latest info on issues (unattended children, RFID as privacy issue, library cards for people in transitional housing), join in on discussion & share experiences. Involve library patrons actively, e.g. in book reviews, local history, and tap in on their knowledge, rather than relying on staff only.
