In case noone has replied you - you might find this report by OCLC interesting as it looks like it answers your question:

http://www.oclc.org/reports/sharing/default.htm

Key point though is that a small minority of library users in a number of countries surveyed thought they'd be interested in actually using a library-based site in this way (see page 163 of that report for example).

Has anyone surveyed patrons to find out how they might use Web 2.0 in the library? All of these things are time consuming and computer use intensive. With patron computer limits of an hour a day, I can't see many of them benefitting unless they have their own laptop and then I wonder....are they really tooling around in the library system, or do they have a totally different focus for their library computer use?
