Although I can see the benefits of wikis, I remain very skeptical about there use. Wikipedia in particular makes me very cautious about the information contained in it. Some wikis I found, including the Montana History site, do seem to be quite accurate how ever. I guess those who really have an interest in this area would only be interested in accessing it and you could be reasonably sure they would add accurate content.
Our reference manual at our library could benefit by becoming a wiki. At present it is poorly managed and difficult to maintain. I feel this would change if it was changed to a wiki.
