Wiki's are online content repositories that allow others to contribute and modify entries.
Wikis can be an environment that allows anyone to add, edit, or delete pages. Some Wikis require registered membership, and others are private, but many allow anyone with access to the Web to contribute
Many free or inexpensive Wiki engines and Wiki farms are available.
Wikis support communication and knowledge sharing which is essential to libraries.
Wikis provide a great "starting place" or overview of a topic, but are categorized as a "general encyclopedia," which should not be cited when conducting serious research
