I've been having a play around with Exercise #16 of the 23 Things, which was learning about wiki's. I have to say that I'm a big fan of the wiki and have been a regular reader of Library Success http://www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Main_Page For the library I think that wiki's have amazing potential for policies and procedures manuals, project planning, and user guides to name just a few. Currently I'm participating on a committee that is planning a large librry conference for 2008, and the team is making great use of a closed access wiki to store documents centrally and thus improve collaboration.
Personally I'm very keen for policies and procedures manuals to be available in wiki format tom promote currency and ease of use. Peter Blake's paper (below) gives a great introduction to setting up a wiki in the library environment.
Web 2.0 and wiki's were a key theme of this years Information Online conference, which i was lucky enough to attend. Two fantastic papers that examine the role and use of wiki's in the library environment are:

... and on a lighter note, naturally, I'm still addicted to Flickr (I'm the Flickr Fiddler) - so check out my most recent uploads @ http://www.flickr.com/photos/7235365@N07/
