I am an elemetary school librarian. I use wikis to share information about book lists, such as those with examples of figurative language, great opening papagraphs, good to teach inference, etc. I start the lists and then teachers can add to them or I add books as I find them.

I also have a wiki to publish podcasts of book reviews that students write and video.

I also set up a wiki for all the librarians in our district so we can share info, have a central location for lists, addresses, fixes for software problems, etc.

I also use wikis as sources of handouts, resource lists, and other information that participants need during workshops. Participants like being able to access the info at home after the workshop.

My wiki site is the HUB of my library! It's linked to the main website (or will be, once I revamp it this summer). It's where I collect all my resource links. ALL of my pathfinders are wikis; I have a separate administrator code, but also a student code so they can get it and add resources. It makes for some good discussions about good/bad sites, etc.
