Larousse launches online encyclopedia
French publisher Larousse has introduced an online French-language encyclopedia inviting users to contribute content and offering free access to its dictionary, in direct competition to Wikipedia, reports the New York Times.
Larousse.fr said its contributors, unlike Wikipedia’s, would be identified. “People are more and more used to this abundance and are able to distinguish between reference articles and those expressing a point of view,” said Line Karoubi, the assistant director for dictionaries and encyclopedia at Larousse.
