Wikis are a great collaborative tool but one of my concerns about them is the lack of control when it comes to adding content and editing pages. When I looked at St Joseph County Public Library's Subject Guides however it was good to see that the editing page was labelled for "librarians only" and required a log in with password. I know this is a means of control but I have seen pages locked on the omnipresent Wikipedia after contentious events.
Wikis and for that matter weblogs (blogs) are a way of providing libraries with outreach to their users and help create a means of dialogue between the user and the library which I think is so positive for all types of libraries and their being part of the communities they serve.
