Barnett, Eola and Baer, Roslyn (2011) Embracing Wikipedia as a research tool for law: to Wikipedia or not to Wikipedia? The Law Teacher, 45 (2). pp. 194-213. ISSN 0306-9400
Abstract
Useful aspects of Wikipedia should be embraced as a research tool. Arguments are based upon a consideration of Wikipedia’s purpose; policies and controlling mechanisms; commentator views on and academic use of Wikipedia as a teaching and learning tool; the fact that empirical research has found students will use Wikipedia. The results of a survey on the research preferences of a range of students engaged in various levels of legal study, from senior secondary school to second year law students, are presented and recommendations regarding educating students in the appropriate use of Wikipedia for research are made.
