Well, I have been exposed to Wikis before this assignment. I always wondered about authenticity. I was told the other day by a college student that his professor won't allow them to use Wikipedia, that made me feel a little better, at least now I know that those young minds are told that they need to beware of where they get information and that there are other places to get what they need. On the other hand, I do see a positive side to this that maybe most of the people (like me) who post to these, will learn to trust others more. I am striving to be more open and listen to patrons and trust what they say and who they are.
I'm not sure just how my individual library could use a Wiki. I could see a catalogue where people would add there own tags, to help other people search. It's funny thing that I have been telling my help for years to not to give up on a search right away, keep trying until you have exhausted all of the possibilities of where to search.
Here is a link to our library's website, keep your eyes on it it will be changing, soon I hope!
