I have to say that I have had some experience using wikis (beyond wikipedia) before this exercise. One of my classes created a class wiki in which individual groups posted information on a subject that they would later present about.
Westerville public library has a wiki containing policy information, good resources, etc. in it.
I think this is a great use of a wiki. An easy to use way to get information on best practices, resources, and other things of use to the day-to-day work in the library.
That being said, it's only useful if people use it. People did not really do so at Westerville before, though that might have changed. If people become comfortable enough with the software to try it out, this is a great way of sharing information.
