Hi Katie!
Welcome. I recommend three quick tutorials to get up to speed, about an hour each:
* http://enwp.org/WP:STUDENT - Education program training * http://enwp.org/WP:TWA - Wikipedia adventure interactive game * http://enwp.org/WP:PANDS - Plain and simple guide for new editors
For much more in depth background, there's:

Good luck!

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.

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,
Kara Flynn ‘15 Wikipedian in Residence Archives & Special Collections University of Puget Sound

Welcome, Kara. Looking forward to seeing what fun you and Katie can get into!
In addition to Jake's links, there are a lot of useful resources that are GLAM-specific at the GLAM-Wiki US Consortium page. You could get started on the Contribute tab to get a handle on the types of options & resources there are for institutions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Contribute
The GLAM Bookshelf is a good resource too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Contribute
Please don't hesitate to reach out with any other questions. Lori

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.... 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.
