I enjoyed checking out some of the sample Wikis. St. Joseph's County Public Lib's subject guides wiki was a nice, user friendly site - I especially liked the Staff recommendations. Princeton Public Library was so good that I have noted down some of their 5 star recommendations to order for the Kingston Libraries!
The only downside to Wikis is their exposure to vandalism & misinformation - allowing people with opposing views to sabotage sites with which they disagree & users to place incorrect info. online. I guess that's why as a reference librarian, I refrain, for the most part, from using Wikipedia as a resource.
