Hello All!
Tomorrow at 9pm Eastern/6pm Pacific there will be a #critlib Twitter chat
about the relationship between libraries and Wikipedia, moderated by myself
(@fiiidget <http://twitter.com/fiiidget>) and Sveta Stoytcheva (@oksveta
<http://www.twitter.com/oksveta>), Humanities Librarian at the University
of Hawai'i Manoa. We would love for members of this list to join in!
What is #critlib?
(from http://critlib.org):
*"Critlib is short for “critical librarianship,” a movement of library
workers dedicated to bringing social justice principles into our work in
libraries. We aim to engage in discussion about critical perspectives on
library practice. Recognizing that we all work under regimes of white
supremacy, capitalism, and a range of structural inequalities, how can our
work as librarians intervene in and disrupt those systems?"*
Twitter chats last one hour, and are fairly informal, you are welcome to
duck in and out as you need. Each chat has a set of 4-6 questions for
participants to reflect on, as well as some suggested readings to
familiarize yourself with the subject. The questions and readings for
tomorrow's chat are available at:
http://critlib.org/wikipedia-critlib/ However,
the only requirement for participating in the chat is using the #critlib
hashtag on your tweets!
Thanks for the work that you all already do to build bridges between the
LIS & Wikipedia worlds, and we hope to see you on Twitter tomorrow!
Cheers,

Dear all,
We have a list of library-Wikipedia events and projects on the
outreach wiki, here:
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Loves_Libraries/Collaborations
However, it is sadly out of date! And I am at a conference now with
lots of librarians involved in Wikipedia where there is discussion
that having an up to date list would actually be quite useful.
So: if you've done a library event or project (edit-a-thon, workshop,
etc) in the last couple of years, can you please add it to this list?
thanks!
Phoebe

Its super exciting the work that Merilee and OCLC are planning on doing in
the United States! It might be a nice American counterpart to the great
models already being explored by communities like Amical Wikimedia:
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Case_studies/Catalonia%27s_Network…
. (Note that Wikimedia Spain and Netherlands are both working to do similar
projects).
I would also point to a related piece of press this week:
