One to keep an eye on for the future.
The proposed Institutional Identifiers for libraries and organisations
in their supply chain:

If this includes museums, it not only gives them a UID, but also,
combined with accession numbers, a UID for each object or set of
objects.

G'day!
I work on a resource called PubMed Health, at the National Center for
Biotechnology Information (NCBI), a division of the US National Library of
Medicine. We're part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in
Bethesda, Maryland.
Several years ago, the NIH held a Wikipedia Academy (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Academy/NIH_2009 ). Guidelines for
participation in Wikipedia were developed for NIH staff:
http://www.nih.gov/icd/od/ocpl/resources/wikipedia/index.htm
The NCBI has been collaborating with WikiProject Medicine for a few
months. We're delighted that Doc James (James Heilman from Project
Medicine) and Blue Rasberry (Lane Rasberry, Wikipedian-in-Residence at
Consumer Reports) are spending most of next week with us to further both
our collaboration, and We're having meetings and edit-a-thons next week
at the NIH campus in Bethesda - but you can also register to participate
in webinars of the edit-a-thons on Tuesday afternoon and Thursday morning
next week, US EST. Here's our project page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/May_2013
Email to register either in reply to this email or to pmhmeet(a)gmail.com
Apologies for the short notice - but we hope it's not too late to stir up
interest in participation.
Best wishes

Last week, the The New Art Gallery Walsall, where I am Wikipedian in
Residence, uploaded this high-res tiff to Wikimedia Commons:

I've just learned that, as direct result, it is to be used in a new
book, the “Flora of Birmingham and the Black Country”, which goes to
the printer next Monday - a last minute decision by the books authors
and editor

I've just created a Wikipedia article about the Lithuanian Road Museum:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithuanian_Road_Museum
I wonder if they'd like a Wikipedian in Residence?
Do we have any Lithuanian, or Lithuanian-speaking, folk on this
mailing list, or in our wider network?
