wiki wiki

This will be wiki wiki! I use Wikopedia quite alot, but I don't always trust it. (That makes no sense I know.) I thought it was great when they used the examples of ALA conventions and people could give all sorts of advice on clothing, restaurants, transportation and other things more directly related to the convention. It seems to take the burden of supplying all this information off of one source, and makes it easier for participants to get questions and concerns answered. I questioned the tutorial of the camping trip however. It seems that if each person isn't hooked into Wiki right up until the last moment, you could still be left without necessary items. If one participant adds things to the list, but I have already looked at the list and decided what I will bring, I may not go back to it....thereby missing that we need rope...and I have it hanging in my garage. Not the perfect solution. But, then again, you always forget something on a camping trip, so why should this one be any different? (Just don't forget the s'mores!) I think Wiki could be used in a library setting with suggestions of book lists, short reviews, or even internally by providing continued information on our upcoming inservice day. My skeptical nature worries that wrong (or skewed) information could be added, and that is not good for a library
