This is the OA we like at Wikimedia: CC-BY everywhere!
I wonder why the uptick in CC BY-NC articles since 2016, though. That's
a flaw to address more decisively.

Dear all,
We are pleased to report that once again, the recent data OASPA has
collected on articles published with the CC BY license in open access-only
(fully-OA) journals by members of OASPA shows that, for OASPA members,
year-on-year growth remains steady for CC BY articles in fully-OA
peer-reviewed journals. A total of 1,128,721 articles were published with
the CC BY license in open access-only (fully-OA) journals by members of
OASPA during the period 2000-2017, with 219,627 of those being published in
2017 alone.
We are also pleased to report on the growth of the Directory of Open Access
Books (DOAB), which now includes over 10,000 titles.
Our full data and analysis can be found here:

Best wishes,
Leyla

Are you a librarian who has been meaning to dig into Wikidata? We have you
covered! Yesterday Andrew Lih and Rob Fernandez did a webinar on Wikidata
that was tailored for librarians. You can access the 1 hour recording (and
a link to slides) here. Thanks to the OCLC Research Library Partnership for
sponsoring this!

Enjoy, and please share.

Hi all,
I wanted to let you that we have officially wrapped up our project!
The OCLC Wikipedia + Libraries: Better Together ran from from December 2016 through May 2018. The focus of the project was strengthening ties between US public libraries and English-language Wikipedia. The goal of the project was to expand public access to authoritative information and serve public libraries' diverse communities through library training, outreach, and awareness building. The curriculum and materials are outcomes of this initiative. The project was funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the Wikimedia Foundation. In addition to the funding we received for this project we could not have been successful without the support and encouragement of Wikimedia DC, Wikimedia NYC and the Wikipedia Library. We are also indebted to our Wikipedia Guides, volunteers who helped answer questions and gave practical guidance to those taking our course. They served as additional faces and voices of the project and we are so appreciative of their help!
The WebJunction and OCLC communications team did a great job on the website which has links to all the curriculum materials plus the "Librarians that Wikipedia" series of interviews.

I also want to encourage you all to read the final report for the grant - this is full of information on the entire project. A reminder as you read this; much of what is shared under project outcomes was funded by the Knight Foundation - for the sake of simplicity and transparency we decided to combine reporting about the entirety of the project with the WMF funded portion of the project.

I can't wait to see what others are able to do with materials and learnings from this course. Please feel free to share on other lists as you see fit.
Best,
Merrilee
