Wikipedia: Adventures in the New Info-Paradigm
Fitzgerald, Mary Ann
Educational Media and Technology Yearbook
School library media specialists, along with other librarians, are often reluctant for students to use Wikipedia in their school work. This chapter argues against this perspective, citing the values of the free online encyclopedia, and suggesting strategies for exploiting its weaknesses to help students develop critical thinking skills. [For the complete volume, "Educational Media and Technology Yearbook, Volume 34," see ED602586.]
