All material in Wikipedia must be verifiable. In Wikipedia, verifiability means that other people using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source. Academic libraries are a great source of resources: indeed academic and peer-reviewed publications, scholarly monographs, and textbooks are often considered the most reliable sources for Wikipedia. Additionally, resources do not have to be accessible online: Printed books and journals and materials from academic databases can be used a resources to ensure verifiability of a topic (and Wikipedia based projects can be great opportunities to leverage library resources).
