Forwarded from my UTK listserv. Still too green to make sense of it all and hoping that's what library school will help me with. What do y'all think? The original poster found this to be "an excellent way to enhance the findability of unique library resources!" http://www.dlib.org/dlib/may07/lally/05lally.html Saw this listed in Current Cites for May 2007: "An example of a library "getting in the flow," this article documents the University of Washington Libraries' effort to put their digital collections where their users will see them--in Wikipedia. The result was so successful in driving more users to their collections that they "now consider Wikipedia an essential tool for getting our digital collections out to our users at the point of their information need." It's a nice way to strengthen Wikipedia too. The article also contains some useful tips on creating articles and cross-references within Wikipedia, monitoring for changes and vandalism, and communicating with other Wikipedia users.
