I had some other thoughts on wikis.
One of the articles I read mentioned having patrons annotate the library catalog. I think there are people who would enjoy doing this, but it would need some oversight.
Having library policy available as a wiki would be great. It would be easily accesible to staff members at all times, and also could be easily updated by the director. Whenever a staff member had a question, the most current policy would be there to read. As we are currently operating, the policy may change but the printed copy is not necessarily reprinted so no one is sure if they are doing the right thing!
I also like the idea of the library web site being the online hub of the community--a place where Little League schedules, etc. could be easily accessed. We had a call last summer from someone wanting to know the schedule of games for a tournament at the softball complex, but we couldn't find anyone who had that information. If the people involved in the activity are able to add the information themselves, the wiki would be a great community resource.
