Learning 2.0 #16 Wikis

I love wikis! They’re not the easiest to edit, but once you know what you’re doing, they are much better than shared network files, or web pages. We have used our Rasmuson wiki extensively - for procedure manuals, workflow process descriptions, and lots more.

I like wikipedia as a place to start searching on a topic I know little about, but usually go elsewhere for more authoritative information afterward. For example I used wikipedia to find out basic information about the accounting field, then used the sources listed there to find information in databases and books in WorldCat.
