This document provides an overview of Wikipedia, including its purpose and strengths/limitations as an information source. Key points:
- Wikipedia is a free, online encyclopedia written collaboratively by volunteers and available in many languages. It has over 25 million articles.
- Strengths include up-to-date coverage, self-correction of errors, and breadth of topics. However, reliability is a concern due to its open editing structure.
- The document provides tips on evaluating Wikipedia articles by examining discussion tabs, edit histories, references, and article quality. The "best" articles are featured or marked as good.

When you see a Wikipedia entry, how do you evaluate it? Did you know that Wikipedia articles are graded? Some are locked? When, why, and how should you use Wikipedia and when shouldn't you use Wikipedia?
Preparing Secondary Students
This document provides guidance for preparing incoming freshmen for college-level research assignments. It outlines some of the challenges freshmen may face with increased freedom and responsibilities compared to high school. It describes activities during freshman orientation to introduce resources like the library. College research is defined as understanding the scholarly peer-reviewed research process rather than just finding answers. Eight essential skills for freshman success are discussed, including time management, note-taking, critical reading, and research skills. Research involves finding keywords, narrowing topics, using citations and references to find more sources. The document recommends tutorials and guides to help teach skills and highlights resources for students like databases, the writing center, and policies on academic honesty.
