I can see where using a wiki can be a great advantage in any area where communication of information is important. Looking at the examples of book reviews & reading lists; bibliographies; staff manuals; organizing projects – these are great applications. What I don’t think is a good use is for the answering of reference questions – and for the same reason it is valuable for the other areas – anyone can edit it; add to it; and change it. Unlike our magician friend, I do not believe that the collective consciousness makes us all geniuses. Quite the opposite.
