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,
Alex Stinson

Jake, I wish I could report that it went viral throughout the conference, but I don't know that it did. Jessamyn West took a stack of them and she may have more to report. Both the National Library of Medicine and OCLC exhibit booths had them, and I also saw, on the last day, that they still had some "I edit Wikipedia" ribbons out on display. But I'm not sure how many stickers booth staff gave out. In any case, I know that a lot more people heard about 1Lib1Ref than would have otherwise, so hopefully that will get more people to participate. Roy

Hi Roy!
While you're recovering from mid-winter, how did it go? What was the buzz like? How were the stickers received/displayed??
Thanks again so much for being the "giver of swag and hope".

Thank you so much, Roy. And thanks to you and OCLC for getting the things physically shipped here to Boston!
Best, Amanda

Amanda, You or anyone else who wants to help distribute the stickers can drop by the OCLC booth in the Exhibit Hall and pick up a sheet. I will alert them that some people will be doing this. Thanks, Roy

It's wonderful to see this coming together for Midwinter!
Roy, when you say that you expect to recruit people you know to help distribute items and are fairly well equipped for Boston, do you mean that you are not looking for any additional librarians to volunteer? I might have some time, and I take it that Sara might as well.

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

I am a bit behind on this- vacation. Merrilee, do you need some help with distribution of stickers? Do we want to schedule time on Friday or Monday to meet and maybe edit? I have a spare Wikipedia shirt hanging around and am happy to bring it to give to someone.
Side note, when it comes to library conferences, badge ribbons are a hot commodity. I would encourage that a bunch be made for future conferences. All they need to say is ŒWikipedian¹ and include a spot for people to write in their username. They can be picked up at booth. I think librarians are a bit more ravenous about ribbons than tech people (who I noticed prefer stickers).

I love the idea. We would need to do some quick turnaround with a sticker logo. Given the timeframe, could I have them shipped directly to you or Merrilee? Jake
