So I admit, I've only really had one experience with a Wiki. On an amazing episode of The Office, Michael Scott is trying to negotiate his salary and he has no idea how to go about doing such a complex task. He goes to Wikipedia and finds information. This information would probably be useful to anyone except Michael. He uses much of the information incorrectly and manages to try salary negotiation while wearing a woman's pantsuit.
If The Office can use Wikis, I can too. I really didn't have any idea about a Wiki, but I've liked what I see. I really think that Wikis could be really useful to people who are in the same large workplace. Company policies, memos and announcements could be posted and reworked at this location. Of course in a library, there are endless possiblities. Students could add or edit information about book lists, or they could even make their own book lists and descriptions on a Wiki. I really enjoyed looking at The Book Lovers Wiki. Wikis like this are really appealing and easy to read. The Wiki that dealt with the ALA conference would be really helpful to people attending that conference. Wikis allow many people to get information posted without the bother of e-mail delivery problems.
