Wikipedia builds a digital library system

We’ve always thought that the world’s largest encyclopedia should have a world-class library. Through the Wikipedia Library program, the encyclopedia’s editors have free access to a collection of over 80,000 unique periodicals, like journals, magazines, newspapers, newsletters, pamphlets, and series, in addition to an untallyable number of books. This access has been facilitated by over 60 partners, including many of the world’s leading publishers and aggregators.

The library of resources available to Wikipedians continues to grow, allowing these editors to use the best sources available to improve Wikipedia.
