Code4Lib 2021 is soliciting proposals for prepared talks!
Code4Lib 2021 is a loosely-structured conference that provides people
working at the intersection of libraries/archives/museums/cultural heritage
and technology with a chance to share ideas, be inspired, and forge
collaborations. For more information about the Code4Lib community, please
visit the Code4Lib website <https://code4lib.org/about/>.
The conference will be held virtually, from Monday, March 22, 2021 to
Friday, March 26, 2021. More information about Code4lib 2021 is available
on this year’s conference website <https://2021.code4lib.org/>.
We encourage all members of the library, archives, museums, cultural
heritage organizations, and technology community to submit proposals for
prepared talks. Prepared talks should focus on one or more of the following
areas:
-
Projects you've worked on which incorporate innovative implementation of
existing technologies and/or development of new software
-
Tools and technologies – How to get the most out of existing tools,
standards, and protocols (and ideas on how to make them better)
-
Technical issues – Big issues in library technology that are worthy of
community attention or development
-
Relevant non-technical issues – Concerns of interest to the Code4Lib
community which are not strictly technical in nature, e.g. collaboration,
diversity, organizational challenges, etc.
We will be soliciting 10, 15, and 20 minute talks. You'll be asked to
indicate which talk lengths you would be willing to accommodate for your
proposal. A separate call for poster proposals will be offered at a later
date. There will also be sign-up opportunities to present 5-minute
lightning talks at the event.
Submit a presentation proposal for Code4Lib 2021
<https://forms.gle/1wnx8mQP6xpawJhP9>
As in past years, the Code4Lib community will vote on proposals that they
would like to see included in the program. In order to provide increased
opportunities for a diversity of speakers and topics, all presentations
will be listed by title and description only during the voting period.
Speaker names will not be included until the program is posted.
The top 10 proposals are guaranteed a slot of their preferred length at the
conference. The Program Committee will curate the remainder of the program
in an effort to ensure diversity in program content and presenters.
Community votes will weigh heavily in these decisions.
Presenters whose proposals are selected for inclusion in the program will
have conference registration slots held for them. The standard conference
registration fee will apply.
Proposals can be submitted through Monday, December 21, 2020 at 11:59pm
Pacific time. Voting will start Monday, January 4, 2021 and continue
through Friday, January 22, 2021 at 11:59pm Pacific time. The committee
plans to announce selected proposals by Monday, February 8, 2021.
Thank you,
The Code4Lib 2021 Program Committee

Please come prepared to answer the following questions:
1. Think about the recommendations and the work you’re already doing. What
are you working on that is aligned with Movement Strategy?
2. Think about your needs and the work that you would like to be doing.
Which recommendations are important for your community’s future?
3. From the discussed recommendations, which actions and changes will make
a difference and respond to your needs?
4. To work on implementing these initiatives, what human capacity and/or
financial resources do you need?
5. In your opinion, which recommendation(s) require global coordination?

Hello Everyone,
In September we asked for your participation in a pilot office hour series
which would take place over the last 3 months. December marks the end of
our pilot: we are organizing Campaign office hours to experiment with a new
communication channel about campaign practices in the movement.
The next pilot office hour will be on 2nd December at 3:00pm UTC via the
zoom link.[1] The session will focus on: Sharing lessons and strategies
from 1lib1ref, and our growth strategy in CEE for January and discussions
on the way forward for the campaign's office hour and other communication
opportunities around campaigns.
Don’t miss our last of the pilot series: we want to learn about your
questions, experiences, new ideas for content campaigns and the way to
further engage and provide support to your communities.
After the office hour, we will be evaluating our office hours, and will
reach out to learn more from your priorities about campaign communications.
Looking forward to learning, discussing and sharing with you!
Best,
Felix Nartey

Dear all,
I'm sorry if you've already received this invitation on other lists but I
wanted to encourage those of you working with libraries and
cultural institutions to share your perspective, if you have availability
between now and January 2021.
All my best,
Fiona

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Call for insights on ways to better communicate the
work of the movement
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear all,
The Movement Strategy recommendations published this year made clear the
importance of establishing stronger communications within our movement.
To this end, the Foundation wants to gather insights from communities on
ways we all might more consistently communicate about our collective work,
and better highlight community contributions from across the movement. Over
the coming months, we will be running focus groups and online discussions
to collect these insights. Individual focus groups will include 10-15
volunteers who will be asked to share insights on specific questions as
part of a facilitated discussion.
How can we best communicate with your community on an ongoing basis? In
what ways does the Foundation currently support your work? We ask you to
share your thoughts on these and other questions by signing up for a focus
group by the end of Wednesday, 2 December, or participating in the
discussion on Meta-Wiki [1].
We would like to collect feedback from across the movement, representing a
wide range of insights and opinions. We will be working to build as many
focus groups as possible, but want to be upfront that we may face
limitations on the number of groups we can convene based on the level of
interest. However, if you would like to discuss your thoughts in detail, we
are also offering the chance to connect with the Communications team in
other ways, including individual and group meetings and office hours [2].
Initial discussions are happening between now and January 2021. We invite
you to join the conversation, and look forward to working together to
explore some important questions.

Hello Librarians and library lovers,
>From January 15th to February 5th 2021 we will be joining together once
again to continue providing reliable and factual information to the world
through Wikipedia. You can participate in #1Lib1Ref by simply adding a
citation to Wikipedia's content to improve the quality and reliability for
the millions of users of the platform!
Since we are celebrating the “human” part of the Wikimedia movement for
Wikipedia 20: we are focused this year on how every single human (librarian
or archivist, reference professional, and scholar) can add one more
reference to Wikipedia. This year has highlighted how important Wikipedia’s
citations are for access to reliable and unbiased information. The
#1lib1ref campaign is a great way to strengthen Wikimedia community
relationships with the library, information and research professionals who
create that knowledge and share it with the world.
How can you engage?
We invite you to engage in three ways:
-
Make an edit - Participate globally and virtually by adding citations to
Wikipedia.[1]
-
Organise - Lead a community activity or event in your library, country
or region.[2]
-
Amplify - Share and just keep sharing the campaign within your networks
and help us reach out to library and research communities around the
world.[3]
In light of the pandemic, we strongly encourage virtual activities and
advise everyone to follow the WHO health guidelines.[4] If restrictions
have been lifted in your country and are considering organising in-person
events, kindly follow the Wikimedia COVID risk assessment for events.[5]
Ensure all your contributions are recorded by using the #1Lib1Ref hashtag
in your edit summary. This is very important for us to monitor the reach
and success of the initiative.
Please tell your library, researcher and knowledge-loving friends about
#1Lib1Ref in January. We need everyone's help to make Wikipedia more
reliable!
You can join the 1Lib1Ref community via the Libraries (
libraries(a)lists.wikimedia.org), and 1Lib1Ref (1lib1ref(a)lists.wikimedia.org)
mailing lists, or by joining the Wikimedia + Libraries User Group.[6]
