#16 So What's in a Wiki?

Love the wiki! It does, of course have its limitations (it can't be used for everything), but it's a pretty cool tool for gathering information from a variety of sources.

I think wikis can be a great substitute format for our traditional (and static) subject guides, as Chad has done with the BizWiki. Great stuff!

It also allows for others with subject expertise to add content (theoretically, profs, grad students, motivated undergrads, etc). Of course, you would have to talk them into it first.....
