Wikipedia Ban
Inside Higher Ed's January 26 article on Wikipedia, "A Stand Against Wikipedia" highlighted one college department's desire to bar students from citing the Web site as a source in papers or other academic work. Numerous students, faculty, and librarians chimed in, offerring their viewpoints on the department's plan and the reliance of online sources.
Since the article was published, the same department has created a disclaimer to be placed on course syllabi, banning students from using the open-source encyclopedia in essays and exams as a primary source.
