The Ralph Nader Library Site Map

THE RALPH NADER LIBRARY SITE MAP

Ralph Nader is the inspiration for, and not the creator of, this digital archive of public-benefit oriented media material. He was not consulted, asked for permission, or addressed as a source of guidance in the creation of this project, and for all we know, his publishing people don't like it. Though we would like it if they did, and sent us lots of archive material to share with the world. Because the story of Ralph's courageous and effective campaigns on behalf of public health, environmental safety, and consumer protection can stir the commitment of people at any stage in life. When we all pull together to change things, things change. That's Ralph's teaching, and this website is built to get it across.

STATEMENT OF DISASSOCIATION WITH WIKIPEDIA:

To all ABOL users

Recently it has come to the attention of the Librarian that Wikipedia, a resource that has been cited repeatedly by the Librarian, is not only of questionable reliability, particularly with respect to its biographical reports of current figures, but also that it appears to be completely untrue to its stated mission of compiling knowledge in a true "open-source" environment. In fact, recent, reliable reportage indicates that the Wikipedia system is entirely controlled by a cadre of young men with axes to grind and a misogynistic game plan for shaping the Internet public's view of current events. Accordingly, the Library will no longer cite Wikipedia as a resource, and cautions all users with respect to any statements attributed to Wikipedia found in the Library, that such material should be viewed with suspicion, although not necessarily incorrect or unreliable. The Library will begin a process of purging Wikipedia references; however, like many others, the Library has made such extensive use of Wikipedia that this process will be an extended one. Library users are invited to email the librarian with any specific information regarding Wikipedia references found in the Library.
