[VuFind-General] FW: Wikipedia links

[Stewart B. <S.J...@ke...>]

Good day all,

Please see the attached question.  Are other UK Universities having this problem?

Our academics want the Wikipedia links withdrawn for author bios., because they think we are setting a bad example.  They do not want to encourage their students to use Wikipedia as a source.

Many thanks,
Stewart

Stewart,

[Academic-related staff] are causing a lot of trouble over the Wikipedia entries for author biogs.  They have emailed academics and prompted them to call for its withdrawal.  Are other UK university libraries using this functionality?

Thanks,
Jason
