[Web4lib] Wikipedia and the New Curriculum

[B.G. Sloan]

    "It is irresponsible for educational institutions not to teach new knowledge technologies such as Wikipedia...we do a fundamental disservice to our students if we continue to propagate old methods of knowledge creation and archivization without also teaching them how these structures are changing, and, more importantly, how they will relate to knowledge creation and dissemination in a fundamentally different way."
