I like the concepts behind wikis, that they are collabritive. They remind me of the "olden days" when librarians had notebooks or rolodexes on the reference desks where you could put the information that answered the common questions you were asked, such as "Where is the neares Post Office?". I think wikis would be particularly useful for local history and geneaology, where human memory is often used as a reference source.
Wikis are also good for other stuff. I really like the Muppet wiki http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page.
