LIS Wiki Evaluation

I looked at the LIS Wiki.

 LISWiki was established to give the library community a chance to explore the usefulness of Wikis. It is not intended to replace or detract from the Wikipedia library and information science articles (or those in the printed LIS encyclopedias for that matter), but exist as a niche encyclopedia covering library-related issues.  (LIS Wiki 2013)

It covered a wide range of topics from cell phones in libraries to Digitization. It gave no information about the background of the people posting and this means that as these are personal opinions it is not necessarily as authoritative as information provided by other sources. Unlike others I visited it had been updated relatively recently and it contains 1,406 pages (although a number of these were not finished).  The intended audience would be those interested in libraries,information management and technology.
