Dave Warlick has an excellent post on Defending Wikipedia.
Being able to function, contribute, and prosper in this new information environment — more conversation than library — requires full literacy, the ability to interact within that information environment in a way that adds value. It means expanding our notions of literacy beyond reading the text on the paper in front of you. It means being able to expose truth within the information that surrounds you. Students must learn to:
-Find information appropriate to their needs
-Decode the information regardless of its format or medium
-Evaluate the information in order to determine its value
-Organize valuable information into personal digital libraries
