Greetings Program Leaders and Evaluators!

Important updates from Learning and Evaluation:



== Learning Quarterly, issue 6 [1] ==

We have recently published the 6th edition of Learning Quarterly [1], a newsletter that gathers learning stories across the movement, and has Wikimedia programs in the spotlight. In this issue, we share milestones towards our shared goal: learning together, as well as new resources on Wikimedia programs, specifically Writing Contests and Photo Events. The section Grow the Awesome was contributed by the Wiki Ed Foundation, who shares the outcomes of a pilot experience: Will University students edit in their free time? Find out more, read and share the newsletter! [1]  


== What I Learned: Wiki Photo School in Petnica [2] ==

The blog series “What I Learned” continues to share stories of learning through the implementation of Wikimedia programs. In this new blog, Ivana Madžarević from Wikimedia Serbia shares what they learned from running Wiki Photo School at Petnica Science Center. How do you find a balance between coverage and quality, when focusing on uploading media? How do you keep new contributors involved? Read more and learn from your peers!

== Contribute your thoughts to Wikimania 2016 program planning [3] ==

With the help of volunteers, the Wikimania program team is seeking feedback from wikimedians all over the world on what people would like to learn at next year’s movement conference. The Education Collaborative is in charge of gathering feedback for Education tracks through a survey [3]; and Shani Evenstein is collecting feedback on GLAM tracks, through a survey and a google doc [3]. Contribute your thoughts and help make next Wikimania a great learning opportunity!   



== Do You Have a Wikipedia Library? 12 Languages Do, and Yours Can Too! [4]  ==    

Since the beginning of 2014 The Wikipedia Library program has grown from 3 branches to 12 [4], with a dozen more in the works [4]. Wikipedia Library branches are a community hub for doing research better together, and they are a platform to launch projects like Access Donations from scholarly publishers or Campaigns to Engage Librarians.[4]  You can set up your own branch in 5 simple steps laid out in our Setup Guide [4].  From there you can choose from among many different ways to grow with our Project Menu [4].  Wikipedia Library branches are adapted to your local community and designed to meet your needs around research, reference, access to resources, and outreach to knowledge professionals.  Join your peers from Finnish, French, Arabic, Chinese, Farsi and tens of other new branches in creating a network of digital library spaces for your editors. Just contact wikipedialibrary@wikimedia.org to get started.
