Before I explored wikis in this quest, I didn't think they had a place in libraries. As a reference librarian, I deplore the use of Wikipedia as a reference source. In my view, reference answers should come from authoritative, reliable sources, and I still don't think Wikipedia qualifies as such.
However, after exploring the suggested wikis in the discovery exercise, I can now see a use for wikis in libraries. Using a wiki to share program ideas is an excellent use of wikis, for example. A training wiki is also an excellent use. I still don't think they are good reference sources, though.
