Universities have always been traditional centers of knowledge. As an online knowledge network, Lalisio is also bringing people together with knowledge - worldwide, interdisciplinary and always available.
Just as a school consists of individual students and instructors, Lalisio consists of individual members. Members publish and share knowledge in the broadest sense. Not only do they upload personal knowledge profiles, résumés and bibliographies to present themselves and to be found and contacted by peers. On Lalisio they also have a convenient way to share “Gray Literature” such as working papers, conference proceedings, preprints and alike, which formerly got lost in the deep web.
Within every school individuals meet in classes, in study groups or in student associations to discuss knowledge or work together on joint projects. At Lalisio it is just like this: members participate in knowledge groups to organize study and research work, work with co-authors on a joint publication, or exchange tips and tricks among each other. The advantage of Lalisio is that there is no limitations in terms of membership in these groups: neither geographically nor academically. Groups are built around fascinating topics and members are brought together from around the world. On which campus can you possibly find so much diversity and knowledge as easily?
And finally: no school will ever be able to exist without a library and helpful librarians that provide guidance when you desperately look for sources for your work. Therefore, Lalisio provides users with Q-Sensei’s unique “Search and Presentation Engine” and a unique assortment of Open Access articles, books, and journal articles. Students, scholars, and professionals are enabled to browse through vast amounts of content and find information formerly lost or extremely difficult to locate. The engine allows for truly context-sensitive, well-guided browsing.
