It was interesting exploring library Wiki's, though I didn't really find any that I thought were fabulous. I think the great library Wiki's have yet to be created. I did think that the Princeton (NJ) Public Library's BookLoversWiki was nicely done, though. I even found a couple of recommended books to read on my upcoming vacation. I discovered lots of libraries use a Wiki for internal staff purposes such as training, updates, and commonly referred to and updated staff info.
An example of a good library staff Wiki is the Memphis Library's-- MPLIC Wiki. Here staff can access Staff development opportunities, find staff with various non-English language skills, find some technical training, etc. I think a readers advisory Wiki would be useful at PBCLS, as well as an internal trouble shooting Wiki for Reference Librarians. But, like I said previously, perhaps the best uses for Wiki's in libraries are yet to be discovered.
