Using Wikipedia for Academic Research

[CUSTERM16A2]

When I was in highschool the teachers forbade us to use wikipedia. They said that it wasn't a valid source of information. Wikipedia by it's nature has information taken from other works and includes references and a worked cited page. This being the case wikipedia should not be discounted. It cannot be sited as a single source but is still valid in the research and information gathering and information citing process.

Yes, absolutely.

Hi bcveen, I'm a librarian at a community college in Michigan and I love your video! May I have permission to show it to my students when I teach information literacy courses?
