Hi Katie,
Glad to see another University partner! I am about to have a job together here at Kansas State and have been reaching out to multiple university partners on campus. If you need tips on talking to university partners about the projects, or ideas on how to multiply your effectiveness in a university community, go ahead and contact me. Also, check out my (2 year old) presentation about what different communities on campuses see as benefits for cooperating with Wikipedia: http://prezi.com/yb1epaskurkl/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy&rc=ex0share . I also will send you an email offlist sometime next week about an idea that I am developing about a tool for university libraries and special collections partnerships.

Welcome Katie!I was just at the American Alliance of Museums Conference (there were a few of us there) in Seattle this past week, shame I didn't know about your work sooner :)Glad that you have joined us here, I've done many projects and consulted on multiple residencies. If we can be of any help here, so let us know.-Sarah (who lives down the street in Oakland, California!)--On Fri, May 23, 2014 at 9:09 AM, Kara E Flynn <kflynn@pugetsound.edu> wrote:
Hello,
I am a Wikipedian in Residence this summer at the University of Puget Sound’s Archives & Special Collections, in Tacoma, WA. I am a rising senior and will be working this summer with Katie Henningsen, our Archivist and Digital Collections Coordinator, to make our archival material accessible through Wikipedia.
I recently met with Lianna Davis, Head of Communications and External Relations at the Wiki Education Foundation, and she suggested that I introduce myself to the email list and get connected to other, more experienced Wikipedians. I’m still pretty new to Wikipedia, and may be reaching out to this list for some guidance down the line as I begin to write articles, so I wanted to introduce myself and Katie in advance!
Best,
