Wow, there are so many cool ways to use a wiki! My favorite is allowing patrons to annotate the catalog and write their own reviews. This really gives ownership of the library to patrons and allows them to share their own experiences with books and materials.
I also really like the community wikis which allow users to add and share their experiences in their own local communities. The Ann Arbor wiki allows users to share their favorite things to do, places to eat, things that are free and just general information that only insiders know about a community.
Other neat ways to wiki that could benefit the library are creating subject guides, staff intranets, and training courses. I will definitely be exploring the wiki world to find more uses as I have time!
