Wikis Thing 16

I finally know what wikis are!
I have used Wikipedia in the past for a quick reference, and I really liked the book lovers wiki. It was very easy to use and the covers of all the books reviewed are a nice touch (it gives it a book store feel).
The fact that many wikis look alike breeds familiarity, it makes them maybe a bit more user friendly.
A community wiki on the library site for one-stop-shopping is a great idea, it would put the library more in the center of community activities.
One drawback I see is that wikis are somewhat prone to being subjective, but we all know you can't believe everything you read on the internet. ;-)
