I've always loved the concept of wikis. I spent much time thinking about the use of alternative media such as wikis and blogs as part of a course I took related to the news media last quarter. These tools, in that context, have helped facilitate citizen journalists.
For libraries, as for literally any field, I love the idea of using wikis as vehicles for information and idea sharing. Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki was a terrific example of what can evolve.
The bottomline: the Internet becomes a more dynamic collection resources all the time. Because news, or other types of information is constantly changing, wikis are just one way we can keep up.
