O.K., this morning as calmer minds prevail, I must say that I do like wikis. The Book Lovers Wiki from Princeton Public Library is just fantastic and I would love to see something like that here on our website. Although a blog is a useful way to clarify ideas and concepts and share information, kind of like a therapeutic journal in which you may allow people to add comments and suggestions, wikis are a collaborative effort for people to work together toward a common goal.
With wikis we do need to be careful with content, but when using it for book reviews or contributors' opinions we don't have to worry quite so much about authority. So I think the wiki has its place, even if it is a just a starting point to find more information.
