In May 2006 the University of Washington (UW) Libraries Digital Initiatives unit began a project to integrate the UW Libraries Digital Collections into the information workflow of our students by inserting links into the online encyclopedia Wikipedia. The explosive growth of Wikipedia made it a prime candidate for our efforts at pushing information about the Libraries out to where students conduct research. This briefing will describe the phenomenon known as Wikipedia; we will also describe the process of adding links to Wikipedia articles as well as the outcomes of the project.
