* Librarian Tasha Saecker, of Greeen Lake, WI's Caestecker Public Library, on the importance of watching the growth of wikibooks: http://www.greenlakelibrary.org/blog/archives/006242.html Some reports on Wikipedia...
* Susan Barnes on Wikipedia's credibility, and whether "hittable" is a word: http://www.democratandchronicle.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050717/BUSI...

And, last but not least, from today's news: * Britannica has chosen a new 15-person advisory board, the first since the last one was effectively disbanded 10 years ago. They hope that, among other things, this will bolster their image as a vetted and polished resource, to "respond to competitive challenges from Google, Yahoo, and the popular online encyclopedia Wikipedia." http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2005/07/21/venerable_encylopedia_...
