Abstract

The paper attempts to compare the use of Wikipedia among students of Department of Library and Information Science(DLIS) and the students of Department of Sociology from University of Pune. It has been found that the library science students are more literate in the use of Wikipedia as compared to the students of sociology, the reason might be Wikipedia is a part of curricula of library science students. Also the fact that Wikipedia is editable, hence the students of library science are more cautious before using the information available on Wikipedia.
