Wikipedia Ban

Professors continue to ban Wikipedia as a research tool, citing too many incorrect entries. Designed as a user generated and edited encyclopedia, anyone can contribute to or change a Wikipedia entry. One professor at the University of Brighton has gone even further, banning the use of Google. Calling it "white bread for the mind," she objects to the easy answers to complex questions with little sorting of shallow ideas from serious referenced work. She states, "Google is filling, but does not necessarily offer nutritional content." (Inside Higher Education January 14, 2008)
