== | '''LISWiki''', originally found at <tt>LISWiki.com</tt>, and latterly located at <tt>LISWiki.org</tt>, was also known as the '''Library and Information Science Wiki''', based in the {{tag|United States|United States of America}}. Founded 30 June 2005, LISWiki functioned at a somewhat pedestrian pace for most of its existence. During 2019, a site notice appeared, stating: | ||
[ | <blockquote>'''''LISWiki {{tag|GoalAbandoned|will be closing}}, due to [https://Hubbard.Medium.com/liswiki-and-the-tragedy-of-the-non-commons-46f3c51a3002 lack of participation], on July 1, 2019.'''''</blockquote> | ||
However, whilst it is true that LISWiki was taken offline by the end of 2019, it has made a phoenix-like reappearance as of December 2021, albeit with archived versions of only its main and About pages! | |||
===About=== | |||
'''LISWiki''' was established to give the {{tag|library}} community a chance to explore the usefulness of [[WhatIsWiki|wikis]]. It is not intended to replace or detract from the {{Wp|Library science|Wikipedia library and information science}} articles (or those in the printed LIS encyclopedias for that matter), but exist as a niche {{tag|encyclopedia}} covering library-related issues. (Just as [[Memory Alpha]], for example, exists as an independent [[wiki]] for a specialized audience.) | |||
The field of librarianship has already benefited from adopting innovative publishing and communication models, such as [[:Category:Weblog|weblogs]] and open access archives. Wikis are quickly becoming the next big thing in the field of {{tag|information}}. So please, have fun exploring the site. And consider contributing to the new project. | |||

Anything library-related is welcome here. This wiki is designed to be built, edited, organized, and maintained by anyone and everyone interested – although contributions of inaccurate or off-topic content, [[spam]], trolling, and [[vandal]]ism are not welcome. | |||
;Why not just Wikipedia? | |||
There are certainly overlaps with a subject encyclopedia and a general one; many entries in LISWiki have cross-references to [[English Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] articles. But in fact there are more things library-related to be added and found here than may exist in Wikipedia, such as: | |||
*Conjecture and other {{Wp|Wikipedia:No original research|original research}} | |||
*Opinion and position pieces not written in a {{tag|NPOV}} (with factual information properly presented, of course) | |||
*Lists, directories, esoteric library information, and non-encyclopedic knoweldge that may not meet Wikipedia's inclusion criteria. See Wikipedia's removal of a "Don Saklad" article for example. | |||
As the growth of library-themed [[Archive.org:20090604052302/http://www.LISWiki.com/wiki/Wiki|wikis]] demonstrates, there is certainly interest in having specialized coverage! | |||
