Wikis and libraries; my first reaction was concern about exchanging control for open access. Worst case scenarios include people with an axe to grind AND plenty of time on their hands stuffing up all our carefully created websites and catalogues; problems of intellectual property and quality of information; spam etc. But the capacity to moderate entries should help; and having the option to make a wiki open only to certain groups is reassuring.
Subject guides would be an excellent first step for us into wiki-dom; book discussion groups would also work well, and would be one of the best scenarios for library wikis. I liked the idea of procedure manuals being maintained in a wiki - no-one would ever be caught with an outdated procedure.
