Exploring a library wiki

The Library and Information Science Wiki was launched in 2005.  It encourages everyone to contribute - by editing existing or creating new articles.  There are articles on vanity publishing and government documents, for example.  Areas where development is particularly welcome include weblogs and RFID.  The site does have a strong American slant.  I guess as with all information sources, but particularly wikis (given that anyone can author the work), factors such as the accuracy, scope, completeness and how up-to-date articles are need to be borne in mind.
