Wiki

Hmmm, a wiki, if handled correctly, and used by enough staff, could be a useful tool for a library. I could see a reading list working well (though I still like LIbraryThing better for that. I like having the covers to see). A living resource, with topics staff have had trouble finding info, would be worthwhile. If students come in every November looking for the same information, it could be useful to have a ready-made resource list (more than books alone) to use, so that every staff member doesn't have to reinvent the same search pattern every time. But it would need to be kept updated (which could easily be once a year, just before that same report comes due again, one staff member updates the sources, so that all staff don't have to do it every time.

It could also be useful as a branch record. All staff in a branch adds to a single wiki, with several topics. (For example, building, where people can add such items as "When the doorknob sticks, push in the area around the keyhole and it will work fine again." Or to keep track of cleaning, keep a running list of who has done what).
