Hi GLAM-Wiki Folks,
With the cooperation of IFLA, we have been working on white papers. We have
prepared the below email to forward to library communities in your context
to solicit feedback on the draft white papers. Please share with your
partners and community coordinators.
Also if you are on social media, we would welcome sharing of the following:

I hope you get a chance to engage, and that these papers prove useful for

Hello all,
As you probably have noticed, in the last few years more and more library
communities are engaging with Wikipedia as a tool for teaching our patrons
effective internet research, but also as contributors of Wikimedia
projects, through projects like Art and Feminism
<http://art.plusfeminism.org/>and the #1lib1ref campaign
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library/1Lib1Ref>.
But these kinds of collaborations, only scratch the surface -- whole
networks of libraries are integrating Wikipedia into their professional
work of sharing knowledge, and using it as a tool for serving their
patrons. Take for example the public libraries in Catalonia: nearly 200
libraries are actively contributing to Wikimedia projects, as an effort to
preserve Catalan language and culture.
Since early 2016, IFLA Headquarters and the Wikipedia Library Team at the
Wikimedia Foundation, have been supporting a group of Wikipedians and
Library experts in writing two white papers on the opportunities for
library and Wikipedia collaboration. Initial drafts of these papers were
presented at the WLIC 2016, and were well received.
We hope to continue to refine these papers, and we need your help to do it:
though the committees that wrote the papers include leading experts on
these collaboration, we know that their are hundreds of leaders in library
and Wikipedia communities who also have valuable experience with these
important partnerships. We hope to revise the current drafts to fully
reflect the global experience of Wikipedia and Library collaborators.
To this end, we invite you to join our open commenting period on the white
papers, that just opened on September 19 and will remain open through
October 31st. Instructions for commenting, are available in the following

Subject: [GLAM] We need your input: Building a shared vision of “Leadership”
To: Wikimedia Education <education(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, "Wikimedia & GLAM
collaboration [Public]" <glam(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
*TL:DR: The Community Engagement department invites you to participate in
the Leadership Development Dialogue now through October 16th [1]*
Hello there,
One of the really valuable, parts of our community, is the growing number
of volunteers who step beyond their comfort zone, and become guides,
mentors, and leaders for other parts of the volunteer community. This act
of emerging, to take on responsibilities that strengthen our community is
widespread, but also something that we need to embrace, refine and improve,
so that we have the capacity to meet our broader mission.
>From now through October 16th, the Community Engagement department invites
you to participate in an online dialogue about just how to describe and
build the leadership capacity. Please invite all who may be interested by
forwarding to your local community mailing lists, and be sure to join us
at: [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Engagement/Leaders
hip_Development_Dialogue
In particular, we need your help:
-
Improving the “Learning Days” and other leadership development programs
supported by the WMF and other organizations
-
Refining the language and concepts we use to describe “leadership” -- in
our initial exploratory engagement of focus groups, we found that the word
“leader” does not translate well across language and cultures.
In behalf of the Community Engagement department, we hope to see you on the
wiki!

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!

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
