Wikis

I was amazed at how anyone can contribute or edit anything on Wikipedia. Gee we can only hope that if any "false" information is recorded that it will be picked up very quickly, eg: medical, law information. It is an excellent starting point however, to help a student etc get the basic information, then go to more reliable sources within the library.

Very interesting and quite accessible for the "not so computer literate".

Just beware of the facts or lack of!!!
