For our editors, that means access to world-class library and reference services comparable to a leading university library. For our readers, who often do not have access to journals or databases, Wikipedia has become a ubiquitous gateway: not all information is free, but most information
can at least be summarized and cited on Wikipedia—and we are working to make every citation lead somewhere full text can be obtained. With libraries and publishers, that means having their resources found and used through contribution and content production—as participants, as experts, as builders in an "intellectual makerspace", and as natural allies in the common humanitarian mission to share knowledge with the world and all of its people.20
