September's GLAMout - Thursday September 4th at 3pm EST
by Dorothy Howard 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

Dear All, *After a brief hiatus, monthly GLAMouts will resume just after Labor Day this September, on Thursday September 4th at 3pm EST.* As you may know, GLAMouts are an opportunity for U.S.-based and other Wikipedians working in GLAM institutions or affiliated projects to share project updates, discuss recent initiatives, and ask each other questions. It is also an opportunity for those interested in GLAM-Wiki U.S. to introduce themselves and learn from other community members. I encourage you to RSVP and sign up now on our event page <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/GLAMout/2014/September#Attende…> if you are interested in presenting so we can all get a better idea of the agenda. So far I’ve added a few suggested topics to the list and you are welcome to claim one of those if you like as well. Per usual, we will be using a Google hangout which will be emailed to confirmed participants beforehand, added to the Wikipedia event page just before the hangout, and Tweeted out via @glamwiki, my own account @DorothyR_Howard, and the accounts of other regular GLAMout participants. The video will also be streamed on Youtube for those who just want to watch and the link will be made available on the event page on Wikipedia. Please forward this message widely to those you think may be interested. Best wishes, Dorothy Howard -- Dorothy Howard, Wikipedian-in-Residence and Open Data Fellow Metropolitan New York Library Council (METRO) 212.228.2320 x127

New Media Consortium Horizon Report: Library Edition
by Lori Phillips 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

Hello all, I'm excited to share that the New Media Consortium has released their first Horizon Report for Libraries. For years NMC has produced Horizon Reports for the academic and museum sectors, and those reports are invaluable for monitoring shifts in the use of technology in informal and formal learning environments. You can see the full report here: http://www.nmc.org/publications/2014-horizon-report-library The Wikipedia Library and DPLA are both mentioned. I've served on the Horizon Report: Museum Edition advisory board for three years, and I'm a contributing editor for the NMC blog, where I discuss Wikipedia frequently. I've always been impressed by the New Media Consortium's process for incorporating diverse expertise and perspectives into their reports. Hopefully you all find this useful, as well. Best, Lori -- Lori Byrd Phillips Digital Marketing Content Coordinator The Children's Museum of Indianapolis 703.489.6036 | http://loribyrdphillips.com/
