Forwarding this onto the public GLAM list just in case it hadn't made its way there yet! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Klein,Max <kleinm(a)oclc.org> Date: Fri, Jun 8, 2012 at 7:11 PM Subject: [Glam-north-america] Save the date: Wikipedia Loves Libraries discussion and workshop at Wikimania preconference To: Wikimedia & Libraries <libraries(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, cultural-partners(a)wikimedia.ch, glam-north-america(a)wikimedia.ch {{Crossposting excuses}}**** ** ** Hello Everybody,**** The buzz is almost palpable, the Wikipedia Loves Libraries (WLL) event at Wikimania preconference is now scheduled.**** ** ** *What it is:* We have planned riveting presentations form both the Wikipedian and Librarians perspectives on the history of WLL, followed by a discussion and strategy meeting for the future of the program. The first half and hour will be a Workshop for Librarians titled: *Behind The Secret Door: Wikipedia Information Literacy for Librarians***** * * *Abstract: * Librarians are domain experts in classic information literacy, and much of that expertise can be applied to Wikipedia if only one knows where to click. Without even learning how to edit, there are a plethora of useful tools built into - and onto - Wikipedia that can help you understand more about the articles. With this workshop you will learn to view and understand: the complete revision history of an article, the discussion taking place on the content, the quality rating of an article, the viewership statistics, which other articles link to it, and Wikipedia's category system. Plus you'll have the opportunity to ask questions in a supportive environment.**** ** ** *Where and When:* Wednesday 11th of July 2012 from 1pm-4pm.**** *International Brotherhood of Teamsters Labor History Research Center<http://maps.google.com/maps/place?q=Gelman+Library+room+702+George+Washingt…> * Gelman Library room 702**** George Washington University**** 2130 H St. NW Washington, DC 20052**** * * * * *What you can do until then:* **1. **Show your intent to attend: http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Loves_Libraries#Attendanc… **** **2. ** Add topics to the agenda that you’d like to discuss: http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Loves_Libraries#Roundtabl… **** ** ** See you there and then,**** Max Klein**** Wikipedia in Residence**** kleinm(a)oclc.org**** +17074787023**** ** ** _______________________________________________ glam-north-america mailing list glam-north-america(a)wikimedia.ch http://lists.wikimedia.ch/listinfo/glam-north-america -- Lori Phillips Digital Marketing Content Coordinator The Children's Museum of Indianapolis US Cultural Partnerships Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation 703.489.6036 | http://loribyrdphillips.com/

Thanks for checking. Dunno why "de.wikipedia" slipped into the process this time when I should have pasted "de.qrpedia". The only excuse that I have is that I did this live on the stand, with several visitors talking to me in between. As for a bulk generator, I've had problems with non-ASCII characters, as in http://qrpedia.org/qr/php/qr.php?size=800&e=L&d=http://de.qrpedia.org/wiki/… . The same goes for the QRWP stats (as discussed previously): http://qrwp.org/stats.php?path=Phosphate works fine, whereas http://qrwp.org/stats.php?path=René_Just_Haüy doesn't. What I would like to have, though, is a system that takes the Wikipedia article's URL and creates the URLs for the QRpedia and QRWP (and page view) stats codes in a consistent manner, as per http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Daniel_Mietchen/QRpedia_codes/Botanik or http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Daniel_Mietchen/QRpedia_codes/Zoologie . Following the QRWP stats on those pages, by the way, I noticed that the graph of the accesses is normally broken.

GLAM-Wiki mention in free e-book
by Lori Phillips 31 May '12

31 May '12

Hello all, A few months ago I was asked permission to include my article on museums and Wikipedia in a free e-book (the article was originally published in the American Association of Museums magazine). This book, called Reprograme, is a compilation of best practices in museum communication and digital engagement, and is meant to serve as a resource specifically for museums in Brazil (and beyond) that are in dire need of digital strategy. This will also be translated into Portuguese and Spanish. I was happy to see that not only was Wikipedia included as an important communications strategy in museums, but QRpedia and Derby were used as examples of best practice in QR code use. So two Wikipedia mentions! http://www.luismarcelomendes.com.br/reprograme.pdf Thanks, Lori -- Lori Phillips Digital Marketing Content Coordinator The Children's Museum of Indianapolis US Cultural Partnerships Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation 703.489.6036 | http://loribyrdphillips.com/
