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:

Hey All,
So Erica Litre, is hoping to host a bookswap at Wikimania. If you are
interested, or want to help with organizing, please weigh at
https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Elitre/Book_swapping . It
could be a fun way to exchange, and further the kind of activities and work
we do as the Wikipedia Library and librarians :)

Hey all,
As part of the Community Resources department at the WMF restructuring the
grants program, they launched a new format: Rapid Grants!
These grants allow for more speedy applications for many of the kinds of
activities needed for GLAM & Library outreach and collaboration
(editathons, meetups, small travel costs, etc). If you have ever thought
about funding for programs:
*https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid>*
Share awareness about this as broadly as you can -- we want to make sure
more communities know about them, and can take advantage of the shared
movement resources.
Cheers,
Alex Stinson
Hey GLAM-Wiki and Libraries ,
I hope you have seen the below conversation about structured data sets on
commons in open tabular data. As the world of openly published research
data, and data sets to inform graphing and other visualizations on
Wikimedia becomes more important. We can help centralize a lot of open
projects, especially as major research and public cultural heritage work,
like the digital humanities, is using data.
If you get in an opportunity, make sure to weigh in:

I am very excited about this proposal (you may remember my rant

Anyway, I invited Yuri to attend our RG

benefit from / contribute to it. Also copying analytics-internal, who have

Oggetto: [cultural-partners] Biggest donation of photos in Italy - Paolo
Monti (BEIC)
Data: Fri, 8 Apr 2016 16:26:20 +0200
Mittente: marcok
Hi to all,
I’m the Wikipedian in residence at the digital library of Fondazione
BEIC, Milan, Italy.
In the last days we at BEIC are uploading almost the entire photo
archive of a notable Italian photographer, Paolo Monti, counting 15.000
images.
The whole archive was acquired by Fondazione BEIC in 2008.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Photographs_by_Paolo_Monti
For what I know, this is the biggest donation of images in one shot ever
made in Italy. It’s also the first time that a digital archive from a
famous photographer is almost completely uploaded into Commons.
This notable result was possible thanks to the long-lasting
collaboration between BEIC and Wikimedia Italia, started in 2014, and
also thanks to the technical assistance of Federico Leva aka Nemo, the
previous WiR at BEIC, now GLAM specialist at Wikimedia Italia.
The photos of the Paolo Monti archive represent a variety of subjects
(art, events, architecture, people, portraits, nature, artistic nudes,
experimental) and were shot since 1950s to 1980s. Many of them are B/W,
but there are also many fascinating colourful artistic/experimental
pictures.
We are now beginning to work on:
* fixing categories (often translating the basic original italian
keywords into english Commons categories) and providing a more detailed
categorization
* inserting useful images into Wikipedia articles (in italian, english
and other languages)
* selecting the best photos to candidate them as "featured pictures”
in Wikimedia Commons (only those with 2 Megapixel or more).
Please help us, this is a huge work!
If you have any other ideas on how the images may be used, let us know!
Thank you,
Marco Chemello
Wikipedian in residence, Fondazione BEIC, Milan
(also Wikipedian in residence at the Science Museum, Milan)

I can do office hours on Friday and on other days too if there’s interest – I’ll set up something later on today and send to this list. You all can be awesome and help spread the word. You can also drop in and help!
I don’t think this will be useful for the screen cast.

Merrilee and Roy,
Did you get a chance to put together office hours?
One of the items on our list for next year, I think, will be a screencast that is easily subtitled in different languages: we need to have a complex landscape of support for different types of learners.
Cheers,
