These are all fantastic resources! It would be incredible if they could be added to the GLAM Bookshelf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Bookshelf

I would like to see the library collaboration also have a focus on locality and local archival resources, which are often held by the library. Without being too venal about it, I think the local angle creates a sense of "belonging" and also illustrates the unique materials held by the library.
Another angle would be to find out what special collections the local library has, and emphasize those.

Thanks Bettina and Pheobe,
Pheobe, the 'Editing ideas' document that you have is very useful, and I will try to expand on it.
I'd like to contribute a document that I created as part of a GLAM workshop in NY. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/**Wikipedia:Wikipedia_for_** Libraries_Archives_Museumshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_for_Libraries_Archives_Museums
We talked about what kind of sustainable, regular, project librarians could build so that editing or training their library users became a more regular part of their work.
Cheers, Dorothy

Hi Phoebe - These are very useful, thanks! In my region, public librarians admit to being "scared" of Wikipedia and don't know much about it or how to use it.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" As we enter Wikipedia Loves Libraries season (hooray!) I thought I'd share some material I'm working on ... it started as a handout for librarians but changed to being ideas for librarians and participants at library edit-a-thons. It is a list of editing ideas that (I think) are suited to taking advantage of library resources. pdf handout: https://outreach.wikimedia.**org/wiki/File:Ten_ideas_for_**
editing_Wikipedia_handout_for_**library_editathons.pdfhttps://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ten_ideas_for_editing_Wikipedia_handout_for_library_editathons.pdf
wiki page: https://outreach.wikimedia.**org/wiki/Wikipedia_Loves_**
Libraries/Editing_ideashttps://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Loves_Libraries/Editing_ideas
I have been reluctant to share this because "it's not finished"... but that is very un-wiki of me :) But, it's not finished -- especially the wiki page. So, please help me edit, clean-up, redesign, and in general let me know if you think this is a good idea or not. (And I will keep working on this over the next few weeks). cheers, Phoebe -- * I use this address for lists; send personal messages to phoebe.ayers <at> gmail.com <http://gmail.com> *
