Having explored some Wikis I can see that they can be of great value. The idea of people with similar interests from across the globe collaborating on a topic of interest is a very appealing concept.
When working at the circulation desk, I do try and caution people especially students in years 10 to 12 to not just rely on Wikipedia but many don't seem to care. Many only seem to want the easy option. Wikipedia does have a few benefits but when it comes to serious subjects I do avoid it as a source.
Having an interest in Children's Literature I have discovered a couple of blogs I like
Biblio File - http://www.tushuguan.blogspot.com/
and ChildrensLiteratureWebGuide http://wiki.ucalgary.ca/page/ChildrensLiteratureWebGuide which was originally a website until they embraced Web 2.0 and created this Wiki.
At this stage I am not going to add anything to the sample library Wiki as I don't have anything worth saying.

I heard that in Germany they are going to publish the German version of Wikipedia as a book ... strange but true! http://tinyurl.com/6bzfxu
