Interesting to note St.Joseph's County has a population of 266,431 and their public library wiki has 84 000 hits on their subject guide since 2005. Most of them probably from AID bloggers in the last 6 months.
Because it is so easy to update it does keep things fresh and indulges staff specialities that might not normally gain free expression.
Of course as the victim of pirated (non-library related) information that has turned up in various wikis in various formats I can attest to the ease with which information can be transferred from source to source. Is this information constantly updated when the original source changes - seemingly not.
At least with library wikis referencing and order and content control leads to confidence.
