The versatility and accessibility of wikis has greatly contributed to their growth and popularity as a means of speedy access to information. From an educational perspective I have always found them to be a convenient source for quick reference purposes especially as details on a variety of subject material can be located within an easily accessible format.
However, the main concern with any such mechanism is the accuracy and reliability of the information held within its pages. It is feasible that particulars displayed within a professionally looking wiki might be seen to be absolutely accurate and correct although this might not always necessarily be the case. Hence, the input and editing by professionals, such as within the library service, greatly adds to the credibility of information located for this Internet resource.
