English abstract
Wikipedia: an open encyclopaedia, free and written cooperatively An encyclopaedic collection in itself, public library has always been a place for the consultation of encyclopaedias. Wikipedia is an open encyclopaedia, free and written cooperatively. At first glance, such a project appears truly utopist, even criticisable. Nevertheless, both international and multilingual, it works well and is enjoying rapid growth. It uses Wiki technology and is published under a free documentary licence. Within several years, even months, Wikipedia could have an important place in libraries. French speaking librarians could improve it by contributing to it.
French abstract
Wikipédia : Une encyclopédie libre, gratuite et écrite coopérativement Collection encyclopédique elle-même, la bibliothèque publique est depuis toujours un lieu de consultation des encyclopédies. Wikipédia est une encyclopédie libre, gratuite et écrite coopérativement. À première vue, ce projet paraît nettement utopiste, voire critiquable. Pourtant, international et multilingue, il fonctionne et connaît une croissance rapide. Il utilise la technologie Wiki et est publié sous licence de documentation libre. D'ici quelques années, voire quelques mois, Wikipédia pourrait avoir une place importante dans les bibliothèques. Les bibliothécaires francophones pourraient l'améliorer en y contribuant.
