Slamming the boards

I'm happy to discover that librarians are "slamming the boards", as there is so much conflicting and just plain wrong information given out on those "ask a question" sites. Just the other day I asked myself "do camels have padded feet or hooves?", a question any reasonable person would ask themself each and every day until satisfied, and every second answer given by a simple web search was different.
It's difficult to say how much of a take-up our library would get in terms of offering a "rate/review collection" option on our website. I think that the results we might get would be quite skewed.
