[Publib] Wikipedia, digital impermanence in Sept ATLANTIC

[Joe Schallan]

"The Hive," by Marshall Poe, p. 86.

"Can thousands of Wikipedians be wrong?  How an
attempt to build an online encyclopedia touched off
history's biggest experiment in collaborative knowledge."
(A lot of material on the founding and growth of
Wikipedia, including material on the group of
individuals involved in its early development. Includes
a  list of most-edited articles -- No. 1 is "George W. Bush." )


"File Not Found," by James Fallows, p. 142.

"Why a stone tablet is still better than a hard drive."
(Includes discussion with Librarian of Congress
James Billington.)


Happy reading,
Joe Schallan
