Collaborative, efficient and creative way to share information and ideas between individuals. The sum of of the whole is always greater than its parts! The virtual world of brainstorming is opened up through this interactive process. It has many applications and can be adapted by the controls or lack of parameters set up for each particular wiki dependent on its purpose. The WebJunction discovery resource had alot of good ideas for library wikis -- inclusion of the library community in creating content, especially the annotating of the library catalogue. Staff intranet wikis such as ACL training and development wiki is the resource for the most up-to-date information -- sharing it part of the experience. So I guess we all need to start making more contributions in order to have thriving wikis at Auckland City Libraries.
I visited the 2.0 Sandbox today. Had a small hiccup with access, took me awhile to figure out what email address I needed to use in order to gain access. All resolved in the end!

You're right, wikis are only as good as the currency of the information in them. Interesting thoughts, keep it up!
