Thing 16: Wikis


encyclopedia
Originally uploaded by nowsourcing

For thing 16, I got to read about wikis and how some libraries are using them.

I think that wikis are a great resource. How nice it must be to be a student today and not have to update the encyclopedias every few years. Although I did read that some schools are not allowing students to reference wikis, for obvious reasons.

I was very interested in visiting the sites of libraries that are creating and using their own wikis. That is something I would like to think about some more.
