Stop the Shaming! Wikipedia is a Legitimate Source in the Research Process

While instructors have warned students not to trust Wikipedia as a credible source, it has become a center for current research on COVID-19 and now includes links to texts that can be checked out via Controlled Digital Lending. It’s time to reconsider the credibility and value of Wikipedia in the research process and to include it as a legitimate source for students.

Our road to a dashboard has been filled with insights which we would like to share with others considering a similar journey!
