Possible applications would include
- a wiki by children's services staff relating to common storytime themes
- or a wiki for HSC English relating to area of study - with examples of what is in the curriculum and possible readinga that reflect the different themes (actually i have started one of these - but it is currently on hiatus due to the area of study changing this year)
I admit I advise students not use Wikipedia for thesir assignments as if they have to double check a source they don't have time to use it. Online Encyclopeadia Brittanica is a great alternative if the library subscribes. I loved the article from info today suggesting academics reclaim Wikipedia - its obviously not going anywhere, and i admit I use it for up to date information at time or as a jumping off point.
For inhouse wikis, sharepoint is an excellent package. It allows a library (or council) to have a wiki to share information, start groups, see the calendar of colleagues, start a blog (and more!) all with the security of it being internal to the organisation.

Seems to be a common theme that wikis are good starting points. Thanks for your thoughtful comments.
