Do we want to organize something at a local library, at the convention, or someplace else. Would OCLC or one of the interest groups be willing to sponsor an edit-a-thon? I am going to post this to the FB group too.

We are excited to finally start coordinating among #1lib1ref organizers this month. If you haven’t yet, we invite you to read the lessons that we learned from last year’s great campaign: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library/1Lib1Ref/Lessons <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__meta.wikimedia.org_wiki_The-5FWikipedia-5FLibrary_1Lib1Ref_Lessons&d=CwMFaQ&c=lqHimbpwJeF7VTDNof4ddl8H-RbXeAdbMI2MFE1TXqA&r=MRtITwCjuZ0VR3eAwJJ4MDhtxLgMZmb5MvhCbVTlrm8&m=iSW-AfgtKJeckQUnQZHsV35t2pEphJoipfNAN6dv35o&s=2O_fsn1R2kLu58tg9ZNVgabB2Sq5WPMuF9LgndG4564&e=> As with last year, we hope to launch #1lib1ref on Wikipedia’s 16th birthday in January, asking librarians to “Give a birthday present to Wikipedia, by adding a reference”. *What’s new?* Last year we got a lot of feedback from librarians that they would have planned more activities if “they just had a bit more warning and time” so we are* extending the campaign from eight days to 19 days, from January 15 through February 3*. We hope this does two things: a) it allows for several waves of communications and people adopting the campaign for local events and b) fits better with the start of the Spring Term at many universities in the Northern Hemisphere, where librarians are in demand for various activities. We also noticed last year a lot of social media about informal gatherings: librarians wanted to learn about Wikipedia socially at physical events. We think this is a great opportunity, so the Wikipedia Library team is developing a* coffee hour kit* that provides enough material to help librarians coordinate a small gathering, where they can talk about Wikipedia with their peers and add their one reference. The kit is going to include: a) recommendations for planning, b) a series of discussion questions, c) easy suggested activities, and d) a flyer template for promoting the event locally. If you would like to help build the kit, or a new 1lib1ref logo, let us know. *How you can help* We hope the campaign offers a platform for engaging librarians in your region and context to learn more about Wikimedia projects. We know librarians use Wikipedia for a variety of purposes, but the campaign’s story--specifically how our references work--becomes a shared foundation for understanding and entering our community.
