One of the sites that define wiki mentions how libraries could use a wiki to add to the catalog reviews and synopses for books. I think that this is a great idea, another good idea is to create a wiki as a one stop shop for the community. SJCPL wiki includes a list of local authors. Another feature that caught my attention was sandbox, where you can 'play' with your contribution before you add it to the wiki.
Wiki could be use in libraries for discussions, sharing ideas, keeping all the staff inform of changes in the library. The other day a patron ask me where we have the phone books and I was having trouble finding them since they were moved and I didn't know.
Maybe I could use a wiki to encourage businesses in Schuyler to sponsor our summer reading program.
