Thing 16: Wikis

Wikipedia is great for background information in areas that I have an interest, however, I would not quote a wiki for a reference question because of the free and open editing which could very easily lead to wrong information. I think a better use would be for opinions or experiences. Perhaps a good use for a wiki for Howard County Library would be to establish a site for Columbia residents to record experiences and photographs of the development and growth of Columbia - what it was like in the "old days" of Columbia.
