Thing #16

Wikis are "knowledge sharing tools"...but many can be updated by anyone. Depending on the source this can make for very unreliable information. Wikipedia for example is information that is sometimes unreliable BUT many times it has a list of sources that will take you to a very reliable site. Library Success, which requires registration to add information, actually is quite useful and qualifies as a "best practices" site. It has very useful information on subjects that interest librarians such as collection development, training etc and bibliographies for pursuing the topic more fully.
