In summary, a library entry is a record of a resource held in a library that includes information such as title, author, publication date, and subject. These entries can vary in format depending on the type of resource and while they are generally reliable, it is important to critically evaluate the information and check multiple sources. Depending on the type of resource and project requirements, a library entry may or may not be necessary. While you can create your own library entries for personal use, it is important to use the official library entry from a reputable source when citing sources in academic work.

library entries need "common misconceptions"

I think that it would be helpful to include a "common misconceptions" box in library entries. This probably won't be appropriate to all library entries, but even basic concepts like force and mass have common misconceptions.
