Wiki works like a curator would for an exhibition; or like what a web content researcher would do for our website on different topic of interest for the collection. It organises information into certain topic of interest by drawing on the connections of different aspects of that specific topic and provides access to users. I can envisage the different teams in the Reading Room setting up their own wiki on the topic of their specialisation to provide access to 'pre-packaged' information.
It also seems to allow user discussions, so users can contribute too in the packaging of information for the benefit of other users. It is not just a one way thing.
Imagine doing approval plan acquisitions using wiki set up by vendors. I wonder if this will help the fine tuning of our subjects profile? The tuning process will be more organic and more immediate (?).
