Thing 16: Learn about Wikis

I like the idea of being able to organize a group of people using a shared web site-boy would that have been handy organizing boy scout camping trips. The Library Sucess wiki had lots of great ideas and was well organized. The Readers Advisory section had some great lists and links to websites/blogs. I also liked the book discussion resources. I can see the value of a wiki for sharing ideas, but am still a little uncomfortable with a site like wikipedia that is providing information. If anyone can edit an article how is the credibility of the source verified?
