Access to Licensed. Academic or Professional Databases for Active Wikipedia Editors
Tutorial By The Philadelphia Wikisalon
The Wikipedia Library
- Have you been frustrated when your research on a topic uncovers reference sources that are paywalled?
- Have you reached the limits of freely-available, open-access, or community-provided research resources (e.g., public library online databases)?
- Have you lost access to licensed to academic or professional databases that you used to get from an institution of higher education or a job?
- The Wikipedia Library can help!
Requirements
■ In order to log in and continue to access the Wikipedia Library an editor must have:
- – 500+ edits on Wikipedia
- – 6+ months of editing on Wikipedia
- – 10+ edits in the past month
- – No active blocks on Wikipedia account
■ No application is needed for the base library bundle. ■ Eligibility is confirmed every time you login to the Wikipedia Library. ■ Note: If you have not made 10+ edits in the last 30 days, you may see an alert message when accessing the Wikipedia Library and you will not be able to access the databases until the edit requirement has been met.
