Using Wikipedia to Extend Digital Collections

Does your library have any digital collections? If so, you may want to try doing what the University of Washington Libraries did as outlined in this article, Using Wikipedia to Extend Digital Collections.

Instead of fighting the trend of students using Wikipedia as their first reference, they have tried to improve upon the articles by including relevant links to their digital collections. I discovered this article through Jessamyn West's blog, where Jessamyn also noted that Wikipedia allows you to see all of the contributions the University of Washington made to Wikipedia.
