pros and cons listed in Wiki's A Beginner's Look - helpful
looked round EditMe demo
partial to DIY wikis because of claim of more control & flexibility
read: Wiki as a research guide;using wikis to create online communities
So you want to build a wiki most helpful article so far esp with its practical points
I use wikipedia but I do confess I read it keeping in mind the issue of editorial control but most of the things I've used it for it seems just fine, hence its popularity (weakness cited in the PLCMC article)
investigated the http://www.library.ohiou.edu/subjects/bizwiki/ research how to do business in another country business etiquette and cultural info included some standard "reputable"references like Culturgrams and Europa- looked pretty useful
OpenWorldCat strikes me as a good idea to put libraries in people's minds as having
content they might want
looked over PLCMC's core competency pages
SJCPJ site: liked pathfinder wiki on gardening - new gardening books and magazines were highlighted and master gardening info from community resources was also available
Library 2.0 in 15 minutes a day: liked feature where you could set up your watch list to look at wiki changes that only you were interested in; liked the sharing resources under Library Instruction resources handouts and tutorials to see if someone else has already something useful for particular subject like plagiarism

Book-Lovers Wiki I liked this site a lot. I'll look into it to see what nonfiction and mystery was posted. I made an rss feed

Liked the books selection by discussion theme under Readers advisory enjoyed Being ethnic becoming American and Many realms of King Arthur programming guide
looked over New Orlesnd wiki used as an event site

checked out what song was number 1 on the day I was born at the Bul Run Library Wiki
looked at a couple of academic site wikis

spent alot of time exploring wikis because I am considering on for Adult Print Cmtee notes & special projects

book discussion groups on a wiki could be fun for library - maybe OSP title?
