The definition of wiki according to wikipedia.org is
"A wiki is software that allows users to create, edit, and link web pages easily. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites."
Lots of libraries use wikis. There were two popular uses I found: 1) descriptive/informational wikis (where is the library, holdings, history of the library etc) and 2) subject guides or pathfinders.
Some of the more unique ways of using wikis were:
a Library 2.0 learning wiki (Arlington Public Library)
a Worldcat search function on a wiki (Bull Run Library)
Book Lovers' Wiki where people reviewed books (Princeton Public Library)
handouts and outlines of classes (Akron-Summit County Public Library
library volunteers wiki (Tulsa County Library)
the library policies and procedures as a wiki (Taunton Public Library)
