CPL 2.0- Week 4:

Wikipedia

After perusing Wikipedia, I settled on editing information on a post-secondary institution with which I am very familiar. There were errors in the faculty currently working there-- some faculty who had left 2 years ago were still listed, while new faculty members were omitted. I chose to edit the liberal studies faculty page and it was surprisingly easy.

I did not realize before this assignment how easy it is to edit articles in Wikipedia, or to create articles. With this new knowledge, I will be tentative in my dealings with Wikipedia and possibly steer customers to our E-Library and the World Book or OED for information which is factual.

Thank you for this great assignment-- another valuable learning experience!
