I first saw this post cited on Boing Boing and then found the original source. Blogger John Mark Ockerbloom has an interesting proposal to use Wikipedia to promote library offerings by linking to those resources. Librarians are always trying to figure out how to get people to the library, but this is a different route which could yield enormous benefits to patrons and libraries (and Wikipedia) alike. That's really thinking outside the box!
