Dear Wikimedians,
1Lib1Ref is happening again from *15 May to 5 June*, the campaigns focus is to improve the reliability of Wikipedia through citation improvements and fact sourcing on the platform. You can engage your community in this exercise during the campaign period to improve the quality of the articles about your favourite landmarks, cities, monuments, national cultural and heritage sites.

Librarians and library lovers,
Next month from May 15th to June 5th we will be joining together around the world to make Wikipedia more reliable. You can participate in #1Lib1Ref by simply adding a citation to Wikipedia's content.
That's all we ask and imagine: a world in which every librarian (or archivist, reference professional, and scholar) adds 1 more reference to Wikipedia.
This is the fourth year of the #1Lib1Ref campaign and our second time running it in May, when it's more convenient for the southern hemisphere. You can learn about this year's January campaign too in our recently released learnings report.

Full resources and guides for participating in May are available on the http://1lib1ref.org campaign website.
The campaign will be fully tracked with daily metrics and leaderboard updates. You can make sure your contribution is counted by using the Program and Events Dashboard for your event, institution, or region.
Login to start a new event or join up with an existing group for the May Campaign here:

Please tell your library and library-loving friends about #1Lib1Ref in May. We need everyone's help to make Wikipedia more reliable!
Sincerely,
Jake Orlowitz
