Thing #10

Wikis are one of the few things I've already had some experience with. I have to admit that I use Wikipedia quite frequently. It comes in handy at the reference desk when there is a concept or person I am completely unfamilar with. I can do a quick scan of the Wikipedia article and usually get enough information to proceed with the answering the question. I thought the idea of using a Wiki for planning a camping trip was a great idea. In fact, I would have liked to have used it for my Boundary Waters trip planning this summer. I can see how Wikis could become very useful, but so far, it doesn't seem like our Reference Wiki has gotten much use.
