It is no surprise that they are leaders in thinking and researching in cooperation. I completely agree with you about wikis as collective tools for libraries. My own library is attempting to use them more often. I read somewhere that South Korea has more PHDs per capita than any other country in the world.

There was a front page article on July 9th in our local paper, The Daily Herald, that discussed the future of libraries and the diversification of library services. Topics addressed included: *Library services going way beyond that of providing books, offering more digital alternatives, "community space," and more "personalized service." (p.5) *Not being afraid to innovate with Web 2.0 technologies. *Making info available around the clock. Your idea of a library wiki for building community and sharing knowledge fits right into this framework!
