Wikipedia wants libraries to join the “crowdsource.” The notion that the research efforts of a group of people with varying opinions, when aggregated, can result in better information than a specific expert could come up with—aka “crowdsourcing”—has been around for some time.

Dozens of editathons are taking place across the country, loosely based around Open Access Week in late October. “We want to bring Wikipedians to the library,” Richard Knipel, president of the Wikimedia New York City chapter, told American Libraries.
