Abstract:
Ms. Murley explains how Wikipedia articles are created and edited and how to use Wikipedia's tools to evaluate articles. She argues that research instructors should teach students to use Wikipedia properly, rather than trying to convince them not to use it. Finally, she suggests ways in which Wikipedia can be used to help teach the importance of evaluating sources.

Keywords: Wikipedia, teaching research, evaluating sources
