Wikipedia
Wikipedia is a non-profit encyclopedia, produced by volunteer editors. Anyone can join, write, and edit Wikipedia meaning that not all articles have the same quality.
Articles are not reviewed by an editorial body. Instead, they are peer-reviewed by other editors in accordance to whether they meet certain standards that the Wikipedia community has developed over the years, including whether they are neutral, factual and verifiable.
Millions of people use Wikipedia, but are Wikipedia articles suitable for academic work?
It depends. Check with your professor to see if citing Wikipedia is allowed. Generally, when you are writing an academic research paper, you should be working with peer-reviewed, scholarly and technical sources -- not general encyclopedia articles, such as Wikipedia. If you need a quick overview about a topic, Wikipedia is a great source!
Yes, you can create a Wikipedia article or edit an existing entry.

Websites v. Library Databases
| Websites (Wikipedia, About.com, etc) | Library Databases | |
|---|---|---|
| Authority |
An author of a website is often difficult to verify. Cannot limit to professional, scholarly literature. Information on the Web is seldom regulated, which means authority is often in doubt. |
Authority is easier to identify in databases. Most databases include detailed information about articles including author and original publication. The more you know about a source, the easier it is to verify accuracy. |
| Number of Hits | Millions of hits, much of the same information repackaged. Duplicates are not filtered out. | Hundreds of hits - a more manageable number, duplicates can be filtered out, and ability to restrict to date range. |
| Cost | Many websites, like Wikipedia, are free. But often, you'll run into paywalls where access is restricted to only subscribers. | The library databases are available to the entire JWU community. High-quality, accurate, information is guaranteed through the library's homepage. Subscriptions cost over 5k and provide a wide variety of Ebooks, articles, and video to JWU. |
| Searching | Hard to limit searches. Cannot restrict to only current publications or peer reviewed sources. | Advanced search features include limiting by publication type, date, language, document format, scholarly/peer-reviewed status. |
| Access to Published Information | Web information is created by anyone with Internet access. Seldom is the information coming from legitimate published sources: magazines, academic journals, books, - without a fee. |
Databases index only published information, Information that originally appeared in print: magazine and journal articles, books, etc. Through the library’s homepage, all of the content in the databases is available to JWU for free.
