LISWiki

Dear Colleagues,

LISWiki was established to give the library community a chance to explore the usefulness of Wikis. It exists as a niche encyclopedia covering library-related issues.

The field of librarianship has already benefited from adopting innovative publishing and communication models, such as weblogs and open access archives. Wikis are quickly becoming the next big thing in the field of information. So please, have fun exploring the site. And consider contributing to the new project.
