Libraries would be smart to promote wikis as a community resource for shared discussion and reviewing of books and materials, among other uses. The Princeton wiki does this.
The Joyce Valenza wiki was inspiring, as all her materials are. She supplies so much information, so many places to find it, the usual copyright cautions, the fun sites...a superstar in the field for the rest of us mortals to admire.
School "group projects" are a natural for wikis, with contributions from all members of the group going into the wiki, and all members accessing the info from wherever they are. I see a lot of opposition to group projects in my high school because of the conflicting schedules students have, but this is a way to avoid that.
