[WikiEN-l] Wikipedia and libraries

[Carcharoth]

Noticed this article about UK libraries and I thought the mentions of
Wikipedia would be of interest.

The Andrew Dalby mentioned there is presumably:

[Bit off-topic, but has anyone read that book?]

Does anyone here (particularly in the UK) use libraries regularly for
Wikipedia work?

What about public libraries in the USA and other countries? Are they
well-funded or not?
