Many thanks to everyone who replied about this; the patron already has
what he needs, so thanks again.
I was mildly taken to task, and rightfully so, for sweeping
generalizations about effete easterners, someone pointing out that
upstate New York and New England measure snow in feet; mea culpa. The
only place we get that kind of snow is up in the mountains where it
belongs. I'm now in the office; by noon the whole storm had ended and
now the sun is shining. Springtime in the Wasatch!
Thanks again,

Subject: Re: History News Network article on Wikipedia and Historians
Thanks for the links, Maarja! Here are some others people should read:
Arreguin, C. (2004). "Wikis". In B. Hoffman (Ed.), Encyclopedia of
Educational Technology. Retrieved January 9, 2006, from:
http://coe.sdsu.edu/eet/articles/wikis/index.htm
Davis, Matthew. "Congress 'made Wikipedia changes'" BBC News,
Washington DC. Thursday, 9 February 2006: BBC Newsfeed.
Lamb, Brian. "Wide Open Spaces: Wikis, Ready or Not". EDUCAUSE Review,
vol. 39, no. 5 (September/October 2004): 36-48.
These three cites are from a bibilography I compiled while gathering
information for my lecture on wikis that I give as part of the
bibliographic instruction sessions here at my university. We use wikis
in bibliographic instruction to stress the idea of critical thinking
while doing research.
