The Encyclopaedia Britannica announced that it will allow users to be able to edit their reference library to keep it up to date. Under the new plan, it will allow readers and contributing experts to maintain the entries posted online.
Britannica’s president, Jorge Cauz, said: “What we are trying to do is shifting … to a much more proactive role for the user and reader where the reader is not only going to learn from reading the article but by modifying the article and – importantly – by maybe creating his own content or her own content”.
