‘Information system’ is a very broad term. You could probably argue that a human being is an information system.
If you want specific examples of information systems, any computer system qualifies. So Kirupaforum could be an example.
Since you chose an encyclopedia as your example, are you looking for ways to organise information? Then the Dewey decimal system used in libraries could also be one. The yellow pages could be another. The www a third.
