Project Information
This open access edited volume will be a collection of approximately 20
chapters authored by academic library workers and faculty, Library and
Information Science (LIS) faculty, and disciplinary faculty from around the
globe that highlights engagement with Wikimedia-related projects and
activities.
This volume will be divided into two sections, and possibly a third:
1. The first section will include real-world examples of activities and
approaches to working with Wikipedia.
2. The second section will focus on the theories and underlying concepts
required for the development of pedagogical approaches to teaching with and
within Wikipedia.
3. A third thematic section may be added, depending on the breadth and
number of submissions, for example, a section related specifically to
WikiData.

Possible topics for chapters include (but are not limited to) the following
