[Web4lib] Wikipedia and IMDB both cited in Library of Congress authority records

[Thomas Zimoski]

Maybe this is common knowledge but both Wikipedia and the Internet
Movie Database, among other internet resources, are cited in Library
of Congress author authority records (authorities.loc.gov).
Perhaps this says something about their increasing acceptance.

For example:

400	1_ |a Bergman, Ernst Ingmar, |d 1918-2007
400	1_ |a Eriksson, Buntel, |d 1918-2007
