Calling all event organizers interested in the coming Event Metrics tool: As the Community Tech team has started working on the first two of six new reports planned for the tool, we’ve learned a lot about what numbers we can and can’t get at scale from our databases. In response, our plans have had to evolve.
In this post [1], I lay out details on which of the metrics we’d planned to include we’re now either adapting, delaying or dropping. We’re interested in your feedback, so please have a look and let us hear from you!
Yours,
Joe

Hey all,
Has anyone tried Wikimedia activities with Prison Libraries? Seems like a
really cool opportunity to highlight offline Wikipedia etc?
Cheers,
Alex

Subject: [IFLA-L] Prison Libraries
To: ifla-l(a)infoserv.inist.fr <ifla-l(a)infoserv.inist.fr>
Dear IFLA community,
For an upcoming *publication on prison libraries*, I am currently looking
for people (for example prison librarians) who can share experiences from
their countries, including different approaches and policy environments for
prison education and prison libraries. I am also looking for articles,
photos, existing case studies, etc.
The publication will be the first international, comparative publication on
the role and potential of prison libraries. It will provide an overview of
the contribution that books and libraries in prison can make in supporting
a reading culture, increasing literacy skills and preparing inmates for
their socio-professional integration after their release.
The international policy environment for prison libraries will be
described, particularly the IFLA Guidelines for Library Services to
Prisoners. It is foreseen to launch the publication at the IFLA conference
in 2019.
I very much look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Lisa Krolak

Dear GLAMers,
After many many (many!) hours of work, I'm excited to share that the program
for the GLAMWiki Conference
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAMTLV2018/Program> in Tel Aviv is 90%
ready!
We need your help to finalize it, so please check it out and pay close
attention to the following --
1) If you are presenting - please make sure your name is spelled right and
a correct link to the username is available. If not, please update it. It's
a wiki. :)
2) Please check the link to your submission page - we need you to check
first that the right page opens, and then that the content is updated with
the right type of session, the right people and the right description. A
few submissions were either merged or changed format from their original
submission, so this is especially important.
3) Check out the time of your sessions and let me know if there are any
clashes we might have missed.
4) If your submission got approved and you don't see yourself in the
program, please let me know ASAP.
5) Make sure you sign up for sessions that you find interesting using the
right link from the program page (rather than going through all the
submissions). As mentioned, we had a few submissions that might have merged
to one, and you want to be sure to sign up in the right page.
I'm here is you have any questions / issues regarding the program. If you
have any other questions (re anything *but* the program - visa,
scholarships, accommodations, food, travel etc), please contact Gitit from
the WMIL organizing team via this email - events(a)wikimedia.org.il
Finally, I'd like to thank the program committee
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAMTLV2018/Volunteer/Program_committee>
and Deror for working on this with me for so long. We all hope to have a
fruitful and enjoyable time together!
Cheers,
Shani.
