Hello,
Hope this finds you well. I didn't plan on meeting librarians at a university here in Cairo, Egypt, but they expressed interest in Wikipedia, so we are meeting :). The problem is, I really don't know what activities to offer them. I have zero experience in Wiki+libraries collaborations. It would be more than great if anybody could help me out. What I need is:
1. Understanding the nature of librarians work (I know it is a big topic, but some general remarks would do).
2. Having examples of activities they can be part of to contribute to Wiki (be it Wikipedia or Wikimedia).
3. Understanding how rewarding those activities are (so that I explain to them)
4. Having examples of similar activities, if any, around the world.
Bonus point 5. Having a clear plan of action to give them (i.e. what do we do after the meeting and so on)
Thank you so so much in advance for helping me navigate this uncharted territory.
Best,
Reem
