| SEP's Value to Research, Education, the Profession and the Public (1328 words) |
 | Several instructors reported using SEP articles to brush up on topics they were teaching, and to help develop bibliographies for their students. |
| To illustrate with a concrete example, the author of the SEP entry on holes, Professor Achille Varzi (Philosophy, Columbia University), was interviewed on CNN because the definition of ‘hole’ played a crucial role in the vote count in Florida during the 2000 presidential election. |
| The SEP's high visibility on the web ensures that policy-makers seeking a systematic treatment of philosophical issues of interest to the public, such as voluntary euthanasia or war, are likely to encounter the SEP entry on the topic. |
