It's okay to use Wikipedia in Library research. It can help you determine terms, sources, and references. However, the text in Wikipedia has to be viewed with a careful eye. The best time to use Wikipedia is when you are starting out, to gain a quick background and possible sources. It is best not to quote or use the written text in Wikipedia because it is written by crowdsourcing.
