Wikis are essentially open web-pages, where anyone registered with the wiki can publish to it, amend it, and change it. Much as blogs, they are not of the same reliability as traditional resources, as the frequent discussions of Wikipedia in the library world well note; but this of course does not eliminate their value, it merely changes librarianship, complicates collection development and information literacy instruction.
If you decided to do a storytime on lions, why should a children's staffer head to Google? If TCCL Children's Librarians and Associates had a wiki, a hub of their combined knowledge, that wiki would be a 1 stop shop for storytime planning!
