Wiki's

WOW!! I didn't even know that wiki was so simple to use. I have just found out what an easy and flexible tool this is that allows registered users to collaboratively create, edit, link and organise information in a timely fashion.

This is a wonderful source for knowledge sharing. In a library it can be used as a communal notice board for news, book reviews, author talks, summer reading programs, book clubs and many more library activities. It is a great source for getting customer feedback on library resources and services.

The only downside that I can see is that information may not always be accurate as it is too open to public view. However, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
