The discussion on whether or not instructors should allow the use of Wikipedia as an online source in researching topics has been an ongoing topic for several years. Now a Library Director puts forth her ideas of how using Wikipedia can actually strengthen a students research skills.
"I also do not let students use wikipedia, if it can be found there great but verify it with a more credible source from the library. Though I don't mind them starting or looking at wikipedia, they can certainly find better sources to confirm or disprove what they have found. Maybe eventually they will go straight to the library :)"
