Developing a Wikipedia research policy

If:book on student guides for using wikipedia:

Alan Liu from the University of California at Santa Barbara, posted on the Humanist Listserv an interesting draft student policy statement on student use of Wikipedia. A copy got reposted to kairosnews. When it is completed, this guide will be a useful tool for teachers who are seeing increasing references to Wikipedia in student work. Liu is providing students (and the public for that matter) with a context for understanding how to use Wikipedia in both their research and daily lives.
