# 16 So what's in a wiki?

Can see lots of applications for wiki's at work. Like the idea of a wiki as an alternative to emails between a group. Great idea for meetings and minutes of such, allows contributions by all members of a group, extra information not available at the time of a meeting could be added later. Great for sharing resources, could see a wiki for specialised areas, ie youth services, local history librarians, etc. Restricted to own library or a collection of libraries.
Checking out some library wikis, noted comments about spam and what a hassle it is. Restricted access necessary at times and in certain situations.
