Wikis in the library

The idea of a wiki with recommended books is excellent; one of the overwhelming reasons I read a book is because I read a review of it. Also, having librarians contribute to the wiki would help customers 'trust' the reviews as they are coming from books experts.
Subject guides are also a great idea- especially for high school students. It seems like the first step after setting up these wikis would be to offer free classes and/or tutorials to library customers so they understand the service and how to use it.
