# 16 Wikis

Wikipedia a wonderful resource for quick answers to questions, especially useful for kids projects. It really clear and easy to read.



Wikis- another thing that our Libraries need to think about using. Using Wikis means collaboration is possible but also it means content may need to be filtered and sometime may be unclear. Another thing that needs to be taken into consideration when working with other departments.



Wikis with book lists, favourite anything such as book lists, reads are all great ideas to introduce into your Wikis.
