After taking a look at the four wikis in question you get the feeling that the content and the look of a wiki are dependant greatly and how much time people are willing to put in.
I felt like SJCPL subject guides list was a litttle too much like a list of links.
I thought the book lover's wiki was a great idea! 'Read a book, and post the review.' The best part is you get good and bad reviews becuase unlike librarians (i feel like i always do this) they aren't selling the book, they're just being honest.
The 3rd wiki, Library Success was fine, but the fact that it looked identical to Wikipedia probably doesn't help.
I think I liked the last wiki the best because it looked more like a "real" website than any of the others. On the front page they have put things that people want to click. News, library info and random web links. If they want more info they cam find it, but it's not being shown immediately.
Much like people, some wikis are nice, and some are bad.
