Wikis....good and bad....and it's nice that libraries are getting involved in them, but it is STILL personal opinion and information. Just because it is under the auspices of a library, etc., does not mean that it is accurate information that is being given. I do see a great deal of potential for use, particularly in book discussions and recommendations, but there's not a lot of difference there between using a "wiki" for this or a blog, except people tend to look at the wiki as having a bit more validity, and therein lies the danger of assumption again.
Wikipedia.....bane of the masses.
