Wikis

I personally wouldn't use a wiki. The information is entirely suspect. ANYONE can add info to one and this info could be wrong (in my experiences with wikis, most times it is).

I wouldn't recommend wikis to libraries or any other base of knowledge that is worried about ruining their respectability. However, if respectability is not an issue, then wikis could used to give wrong information about branches' closings and openings, a bookmobile's hours of operation, or any other info that a taxpaying public would like to know.
