Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Shared Resources

On this page you'll find the Shared Resources, a list of information sources available to other Wikipedians. Everything is first ordered by type of document and in some cases there's a further division by subject.

Instructions & tips:

  • The search function of your web browser can be really helpful when you're looking for a specific work or a specific subject in this list.
  • Once you find a user with the resource you're looking for, contact that user on his/her talk page (or e-mail the person from their user page). Be as specific as possible when asking for information. The more specific your reference is the more likely you will get a helpful reply back.
  • If you want to help the project, add your name under the resources you have access to, or add your own useful resources. Please provide as much detail as possible (version of the resource, storage form of the resource (paper, CD-ROM, online archive etc.)).
  • What kind of resources can be added to this list? Everything ranging from peer review journals to works of fiction. Have a look at the contents overview and you'll get a good idea. Basically: anything that can be used as a source for Wikipedia.

Unreliable Sources

edit

These web sites may be repositories of non-authoritative or self-published material or research. Just because a citation is from one of these web sites does not make it non-citable, but probably means it warrants slightly more careful investigation to make sure it is credible. Perhaps being on this list might be equated to a "go slow" sign.
