Hello --
Would you have extra 1Lib1Ref stickers we could share at the upcoming Wikimedia NYC Wikipedia 15 Day that is being held at NYU's Tisch with their Interactive Telecommunications Program department on Saturday January 16, 2016? We should have a nice turnout and it would be great to support #1Lib1Ref! I can send my address or pick them up if it's local.

I have the stickers that Jake kindly had made, and they will be available at the OCLC and National Library of Medicine booths in the exhibit hall, and I expect to also recruit people I know to help me distribute them more widely. Merrilee also gave me a slug of badge ribbons that she made that say "I edit Wikipedia". So I think I'm fairly well equipped for Boston. Thanks,
Roy

Hi all,
At the Wikipedia Library, we wanted to find a strategy for help our network
participate in the momentous
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_15>Wikipedia
‘15 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_15> celebrations.
We regularly talk with library advocacy groups like the International
Librarians Network, international library networks like IFLA and DLF,
professional publications like Infodocket, and scholarly publishers like
JSTOR and Project Muse. All of these have large networks of library
professionals active in social media spaces and have expressed the desire
to get more involved with Wikipedia.
To engage them for Wikipedia 15, we are creating a ‘mega microcontributions
drive’ called #1LIB1REF. We are going to run a week-long global campaign
focused on librarians adding references to Wikipedia articles that need
more or better citations. The goal is simple: every librarian in the world
adding one reference to a Wikipedia article, and then telling the world
about it.
The campaign page describing how this will work is a live draft on Meta:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library/1Lib1Ref
We need GLAM-Wiki and TWL coordinators to help achieve broad impact with
the campaign. We are looking for help with the following:
-
Feedback/improvements to the main campaign page
-
Signing up to be a help contact in the "Contact a library leader" section
-
Help with internationalization (i.e. adding translation tags, ensuring
instructions for language-specific community policies, adding links to
maintenance categories or tools for language editions not yet represented,
etc)
-
Sharing the campaign with Library or Archive partners in your community,
and asking them to support it (We can include them as official partners
during the week, if their social media team help share the campaign)
-
Preparing or encouraging others to write blog posts and social media for
the Wikipedia 15 conversation focused on libraries and Wikipedia (for
example blog posts, see this post for ILN
<http://interlibnet.org/2015/10/07/librarian-as-teacher-ways-to-use-wikipedi…>
or this post about the State Library of New South Wales
<http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/10/16/great-war-memories/> )
-
Update GLAM-Wiki Contact pages like
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Contact_us
-
Tweeting, lots of tweeting (and retweeting) and sharing on other social
media platforms
We hope that the #1LIB1REF campaign will help spread the word about
librarians not only trusting Wikipedia but contributing research support to
make it even better.
In turn, we hope this campaign creates more interest in your local
communities about GLAM-Wiki, Wikipedia’s role in Libraries, and how to
improve Wikipedia’s support of research for both Wikipedia readers and
editors.
Please let us know how you plan to participate!
Cheers,
The Wikipedia Library Team

Hello all!
The Wikipedia Library team has been building a "GLAM Glossary" to help
Wikipedians who want to work with GLAMs to acclimatize to the language,
terminology, and jargon in the field.
Knowing the right words to use, and what they mean, will lead to more
effective outreach and partnerships.
We would love for more knowledgeable folks to add or suggest terms.

Hello, you may remember the WMIT WIR at BEIC; if not, see links in
English. :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/BEIC
Last week, the 10 months collaboration came to an end; I published a
lenghty report/case study in Italian. TL;DR: free software developed, 10
BEIC staff contributing, a thousand images uploaded, 6500 usages, 400
articles created, 4 millions accesses/month.
https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progetto:GLAM/BEIC/2015-07
The partnership between WMIT and BEIC will actually continue, but I'll
have a non-BEIC job at WMIT and a non-wiki job at BEIC. So I'll do
little/no editing for BEIC; probably some planning, training, uploading
and maybe coding. Maybe WMIT will keep providing BEIC a wiki editor and
invoice for it, maybe not.
I have some requests from you! I hope you can help.
1) Comments on the past months, e.g. based on the monthly updates or
brutal numbers.
2) Suggestions on what is worth translating of the report. There are
passages trying to push institutions to free software, open data, public
domain, community consultation, involvement of staff. Someone liked my
metaphor "be like mushroom, not sequoias". But maybe this is all covered
better elsewhere already?
3) Recommendations on how to update
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedian_in_Residence . Should I
still be listed there, or call the WIR done? Where to record the
WMIT-BEIC partnership?
4) Lessons from other partnerships with institutions having an in-house
wikimedian not doing wiki work. (Other than Sannita/Luca at ICCU...)
Perhaps Scotland, Netherlands and Switzerland have more to say as AFAICT
they are all moving towards a permanent team serving multiple
institutions à la traveling WIR, like WMIT.

overlapping messages; if possible reply on each list to the parts
relevant for that list and cc only me, not all the other lists.
