Hi All
Interesting story on the BBC website about academics potentially embracing Wikipedia as a resource:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-12809944
Particularly interesting that it is a medical student leading this push to embrace Wikipedia. I'd be interested to know whether any library services are tackling Wikipedia in their information retrieval / critical appraisal training.
Regards,
James
