Phoebe Ayers (librarian at the University of California at Davis and currently on the board of the Wikimedia Foundation) gave a nice talk earlier this year introducing librarians of the Special Library Assocation to Wikimedia and Wikipedia. That talk is now available on YouTube:

Ah, thanks, Bob :)
The sound is terrible, and it was kind of a weird space to present in. But it was still a fun gig. I especially enjoyed the Q&A part, which starts around 0:50; there were some interesting questions about quality etc.
The slides are here, and everyone should feel free to remix them: http://www.slideshare.net/phoebeayers/sla-2013-hww
The slides have a number of problems, namely that many of them are too wordy and that if you find yourself in a situation without a proper screen (as I did) the screenshots and how-tos don't work at all; it's better as an accompanying deck. But slides or no I like to follow this general pacing when introducing the projects. Let me know if you make a better presentation with the same material. :)
