Wikipedia

Wikipedia may not be the most research oriented source but the info can be published quickly and that can be a good thing in this age of instant information. However, students do need to be aware of the limitations and problems and that is where we can help - showing them how to judge the validity of the information presented.
useful in the library workplace - I used to work on consortial and ALA committees where we would send long documents as email attachments. This would be so much quicker and easier to use and probably wouldn't run into the problems of incompatible email systems.
