Great that you're thinking of doing this, Brianna - and thanks so much to Andrea, who's given me a few more references to follow up on. :-) I'd also add to the list a piece by Doug Achterman < http://news.ala.org/ala/aasl/aaslpubsandjournals/kqweb/kqarchives/v33/335achterman.cfm> about the need for library and teaching staff to coordinate activities around information retrieval in general, including on Wikipedia. But yes, Andrea's right - this literature points to the fact that much more work is needed both in doing research, and in educating both students and educators about the values and pitfalls of using Wikipedia. I'm doing a class next week on educational implications of wikis/Wikipedia - and part of that is to give a look at what happens "inside Wikipedia". You can find this at: <http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Inside_Wikipedia> - please go edit/comment/fork as you see fit. (Actually, Andrea, I've already put your abstract in the references section - let me know if I should remove/replace it.. :-))
Brianna, as to the wiki research bibliography, I don't know what's happened - it might be worth emailing Jakob Voss and/or Patrick Danowski about it (I don't know if either are reading this list these days)...
