I think wikis will be a great tool for communal input, such as for programming ideas. Comments from the team would all then be visible. What they would be great for is internal policies and procedures, say within the Reference Dept.
I looked at Library Bloggers,and checked out Harford County Public Library, where my brother lives. I found out they must practically have knock-down dragouts on Tuesdays when the new DVDs come in! Misery loves company. The British have no trouble sending little old ladies to the back of the line, so I suggest they borrow a Bobbie! Misery loves company...
Going to Nancy Pearl's wiki only made me order a mystery. Need to stay away from that one...
In Albany County I found lots of bureaucratic talk about us all helping them construct their policies. Yecch. Good to know that everyone has trouble getting certain muscis titles, though.
Library Success and its best practices was interesting, though there wasn't as much volume in the different areas as I expected. What to put in subject guides could be useful in the advice area, and I enjoyed seeing "Senior Spaces" from Old Bridge - I had seen his presentation at the conference. Under programming ideas, I am not sure our IT guys would be up for a help session with customers, although it's an idea...
The OCL article on Wikipedia was useful for getting out the word about our wonderful library, and I suppose I can guess who garnetpoint is.
I most like the idea of using wikis to coordinate ideas, and that the history allows changes to be tracked. There were really no discussions on the OCL entry, just the verification that our website info was used legally.
