Wikis: Our library system has started its own wiki about our event: Literary Orange. Most of the library wikis on this list only allow staff input. Ours will allow outside input (Google "Literary Orange" and there's an icon for the wiki somewhere on the site). Actually, I may be wrong...I've been able to post a comment, but I haven't figured out how to change information already there.
I understand that the wiki is a collaborative effort, but it's interesting that one can limit the participation. Sounds like a way to get around having to ask the IT department any time you need to update or change an online page.

I think that largely you're right--wikis are a way to let anyone in the library post content to a site without relying on a webmaster to post every last thing. Blogs really do the same thing, but in a different format...one that is less collaborative (e.g. you can't really edit what's already there, just post a comment to it).
You can change information already there on wikis--there should be a small "edit" link to the right of any content that you've created.
