That's perfect cause this year we're running #1lib1ref this year from Jan
15th for almost *3* weeks, to give people more time to participate and get
involved.

Hi,
ALA Mid-winter in Atlanta happens during this time period: January 20-24.
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.

Hello Wikimedians!
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. If you would like to
coordinate #1lib1ref in your area, here are the main steps:
1. Join the Wikipedia + Libraries Facebook group:

1. Translate the campaign page to your local language. We want to have
it ready for translation no later than November 10th and will notify you
with an email that it’s ready.
1. Begin reaching out to partners that you think will want to
participate during the campaign through a) communications or b) activities.
We look forward to collaborating with you! Thanks so much for your
help--it should be a lot of fun.
Best,
Alex Stinson
