Wikis sound interesting. I liked the Book Lovers Wiki from the Princeton Public Library where adult participants in their summer reading program posted book reviews and rated their books. I think this might be fun to try in our library. Perhaps our teens would like to do this also. I would expect that it would need to be moderated so that you could keep someone from posting something inappropriate.
I think it might work to list the links on our library homepage in a wiki where they are grouped by category and patrons could add sites that they find helpful. Patrons could also help by deleting sites that are no longer good. (I hate it when I click on a dead link!)
I found it easier to browse the wikis that listed the contents in a vertical list. The ALA wiki for the 2008 annual conference had lots of good information, but for me it was difficult to browse since everything was listed horizontally one after the other. The topics appeared to be in alphabetical order (of course, since this was a librarian site!), but I personally didn't like it as well.
