The Wikipedia Library is an open research hub, a place for active Wikipedia editors to gain access to the vital reliable sources that they need to do their work and to be supported in using those resources to improve the encyclopedia. We aim to make access and use of sources free, easy, collaborative and efficient.

The Wikimedia Foundation team responsible for running the library has formed partnerships with dozens of publishers of paywalled materials, and makes those resources accessible to Wikimedia contributors who meet the eligibility criteria.
