Abstract
- The article discusses the online encyclopedia Wikipedia, which is not viewed as an authoritative source of information by librarians as the information on it can be rewritten at will by the general public. It is noted, however, that many students and their parents use Wikipedia almost reflexively. The article recommends that school librarians promote better use of the site by encouraging their patrons to verify Wikipedia entries by using more carefully vetted sources.
