You're so fine you blow my mind...

On to wikis.

Hmm.

I never really looked at a wiki from a 'collaborative' aspect as mentioned in the training video. So I now see the light. They can help with collaboration and I am glad that HCPL has embraced them for staff.

Wikipedia has sort of muddied the water, imho. On one hand professors don't want students to use wikipedia for school work because the content can be altered or changed to reflect 'bad' or incorrect information.

On the other hand the some information that is out there might need to be updated or changed frequently. Where do we draw the line?

During the course of my time on the reference desk, I do check Wikipedia for series orders and for basic 'ready reference' answers, but I can never put my trust in to Wikipedia 100% .

Not that there is anything wrong with it...
