Wiki's are a REALLY great tool. The sceptic in me had misgivings about 'abusing' the privilege of being able to add information - but I don't think this happens as much as it might. I think wikis would be well worth developing for subject guides - particularly for fiction which often has no cataloguing or genre associated with it. It would be great for readers to add their own comments, genre, and further reading ideas which saves us some time, provides 'real' insight, and interaction or conversation between readers (even if it is in cyber-space!).
I think wikis would also be good in creating 'quick pick' policy manuals. Often policy documents are very formal with swathe of often irrelevant information to wade through to find a particular point. A 'policy at a glance' wiki would allow for subject headings that could easily summarise each point. Wikis enable up to date information to be available instantly, which can then by used to back up the more formal documentation that can take some time to update.
