[LM_NET] TARGET: Wikipedia Rubric and Worksheet

[Shonda Brisco <sbrisco@GMAIL.COM>]

I'm teaching students how to use various resources for research
including Wikipedia (okay, you can now place me in the same category
as Doug Johnson---first it's copyright, now it's Wikipedia ---just
kidding). If other rebellious librarians have created a Wikipedia
rubric and/or worksheets to use for evaluating the articles in
Wikipedia, I'd love to see (and share).  I will be putting together
some basic guidelines for the use of Wikipedia (including a rubric)
and we will review how easily the contents can be changed, but if
others have worked ahead and have other suggestions, guidelines,
handouts, etc., I'd love to see them.

I will be posting this to our research wiki (which is incomplete at
this time)---- I will share this with you (hopefully by this weekend).
 By that time, the wiki should contain information about evaluating
websites, evaluating Wikipedia, using Google Power Tools, and (of
course) how to use online databases.  If you can share your ideas or
resources about Wikipedia, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!
