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

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
Thats a great idea! The Wikipedia 15 page has plenty of information on creating local swag to celebrate Wikipedia 15 : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_15 Moreover, at the Wikipedia Library, we created a bookshelf of outreach tools we have used in the past: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library/Bookshelf Phoebe Ayer is talking about doing a one-page share, and special shout out to Jessamyn West for giving the 1lib1ref page a facelift: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library/1Lib1Ref We look forward to whichever communications materials you develop.
