Wikis seem to be a sort of "global conversation." It's a good way to pool knowledge or opinions, but because of that fact, it may not be a really reliable source of information. Learning about wikis did spark some questions in my mind. Who would have the final say or "authority" over the content of the wiki - the originator? I think the wikis created to help new attendees to the ALA conferences were a great tool, and the one for web 2.0 in 15 minutes a day. But I think he's dreaming - it's impossible in 15 minutes a day!
Thinking from the ILL perspective - this would be a great forum for a collaborative effort among reference staff, ILL gurus, and genealogy experts to gather info for hard-to-find items, websites for libraries that provide these things, and their preferred method of requesting their holdings.
