Wikipedia Loves Libraries

Seemingly everyone knows that Wikipedia isn't much of a quality academic source...even Wikipedia! In an effort to increase their standing among scholars, Wikipedia has embarked on a new program named Wikipedia Loves Libraries that aims to get library staff and patrons involved in contributing "good" research to new and existing articles.

The program is in accordance with Open Access Week. Events are only being held at a handful of libraries around the United States and Canada, but perhaps others will join in next year. Any effort to improve the accuracy and credibility of Wikipedia is a step in the right direction.
