Wikis in Libraries

It is very interesting to see libraries using wikis for various purposes. For instance, Subject Guides by SJCPL (St. Joseph County Public Library) are, totally devoid of graphics or other web devices, list 10 major subject headings. BookLoversWikie by Princeton Public Library sprinkles a couple of logo and book covers. Indexes to the Reviews are well-organized. For some reason, I wish that those indexes would be served as a cover page. "Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki" is very informative but its format is just like any typical wiki entries.

For some reason, I like ALA 2006 New Orleans wiki the best. Since it is used for a specific event, it is short but sweet, with Welcome and Topics two main sections subdivided and connected by many mini sections and files. It is not too wordy or flashy at all.
