Hi, all!

I thought this opportunity might interest some people on this list.

Wiki Ed has been leveraging our higher ed connections to partner with academic libraries. They're opening up online resources to Wikipedians with a history of editing in particular topic areas. Editors receive the same kind of access a student at the institution would have: databases, journals, special digital collections, and even books.

We've seen great results so far (one example that might interest you is Barbara Page’s efforts https://wikiedu.org/blog/2016/06/28/upitt-visiting-scholar/ to expand access to women's health information thanks to resources provided by Pitt).

Right now, Hunter College would like to donate resources to a Wikipedian who will use them to improve biographies of women or articles about women's education, which seems fit for a lot of people on this list.

There are other positions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Visiting_Scholars/Apply too.

If anyone is interested, I can help connect you.

You can be located anywhere in the world, so long as you have a history of contributions to the English Wikipedia. We have a Google form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1XPTVNDgMBandN7s_JdCQVqevPf4HS2lIFdw7s-hgjrc/viewform?usp=send_form for you to express your interest in a Visiting Scholar position, and we'll try to find a good match!

Thanks everyone! Happy editing, Jami
