Hello Wikimedians!
We are excited to finally start coordinating among #1lib1ref organizers this month.
If you haven’t yet, we invite you to read the lessons that we learned from last year’s great campaign:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library/1Lib1Ref/Lessons
As with last year, we hope to launch #1lib1ref on Wikipedia’s 16th birthday in January, asking librarians to “Give a birthday present to Wikipedia, by adding a reference”.
What’s new?
Last year we got a lot of feedback from librarians that they would have planned more activities if “they just had a bit more warning and time” so we are extending the campaign from eight days to 19 days, from January 15 through February 3.
We hope this does two things: a) it allows for several waves of communications and people adopting the campaign for local events and b) fits better with the start of the Spring Term at many universities in the Northern Hemisphere, where librarians are in demand for various activities.
We also noticed last year a lot of social media about informal gatherings: librarians wanted to learn about Wikipedia socially at physical events. We think this is a great opportunity, so the Wikipedia Library team is developing a coffee hour kit that provides enough material to help librarians coordinate a small gathering, where they can talk about Wikipedia with their peers and add their one reference.
The kit is going to include: a) recommendations for planning, b) a series of discussion questions, c) easy suggested activities, and d) a flyer template for promoting the event locally. If you would like to help build the kit, or a new 1lib1ref logo, let us know.
How you can help
We hope the campaign offers a platform for engaging librarians in your region and context to learn more about Wikimedia projects. We know librarians use Wikipedia for a variety of purposes, but the campaign’s story--specifically how our references work--becomes a shared foundation for understanding and entering our community. If you would like to coordinate #1lib1ref in your area, here are the main steps:
1.
Join the Wikipedia + Libraries Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wikilibrary 2.
Fill out this survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSflWCp9QkNbIZWXCWU02bp_FGCAua4Z6UaB... 3.

1.
Translate the campaign page to your local language. We want to have it ready for translation no later than November 10th and will notify you with an email that it’s ready. 2.
Begin reaching out to partners that you think will want to participate during the campaign through a) communications or b) activities.
We look forward to collaborating with you! Thanks so much for your help--it should be a lot of fun.
Best, Alex Stinson Jake Orlowitz
Hi, ALA Mid-winter in Atlanta happens during this time period: January 20-24. Do we want to organize something at a local library, at the convention, or someplace else. Would OCLC or one of the interest groups be willing to sponsor an edit-a-thon? I am going to post this to the FB group too. Sara

Good timing. I’m in Seattle for the day so we can do some planning for our grants. We want to use #1lib as a way of building interest in our program and this would tie in nicely!

That's perfect cause this year we're running #1lib1ref this year from Jan 15th for almost *3* weeks, to give people more time to participate and get involved.

Hi,
ALA Mid-winter in Atlanta happens during this time period: January 20-24. Do we want to organize something at a local library, at the convention, or someplace else.
Would OCLC or one of the interest groups be willing to sponsor an edit-a-thon?
I am going to post this to the FB group too.

Hello Wikimedians!
We are excited to finally start coordinating among #1lib1ref organizers this month.
If you haven’t yet, we invite you to read the lessons that we learned from last year’s great campaign:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library/1Lib1Ref/Lessons https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__meta.wikimedia.org_wiki_The-5FWikipedia-5FLibrary_1Lib1Ref_Lessons&d=CwMFaQ&c=lqHimbpwJeF7VTDNof4ddl8H-RbXeAdbMI2MFE1TXqA&r=MRtITwCjuZ0VR3eAwJJ4MDhtxLgMZmb5MvhCbVTlrm8&m=iSW-AfgtKJeckQUnQZHsV35t2pEphJoipfNAN6dv35o&s=2O_fsn1R2kLu58tg9ZNVgabB2Sq5WPMuF9LgndG4564&e=
As with last year, we hope to launch #1lib1ref on Wikipedia’s 16th birthday in January, asking librarians to “Give a birthday present to Wikipedia, by adding a reference”.
*What’s new?*
Last year we got a lot of feedback from librarians that they would have planned more activities if “they just had a bit more warning and time” so we are* extending the campaign from eight days to 19 days, from January 15 through February 3*.
We hope this does two things: a) it allows for several waves of communications and people adopting the campaign for local events and b) fits better with the start of the Spring Term at many universities in the Northern Hemisphere, where librarians are in demand for various activities.
We also noticed last year a lot of social media about informal gatherings: librarians wanted to learn about Wikipedia socially at physical events. We think this is a great opportunity, so the Wikipedia Library team is developing a* coffee hour kit* that provides enough material to help librarians coordinate a small gathering, where they can talk about Wikipedia with their peers and add their one reference.
The kit is going to include: a) recommendations for planning, b) a series of discussion questions, c) easy suggested activities, and d) a flyer template for promoting the event locally. If you would like to help build the kit, or a new 1lib1ref logo, let us know.
*How you can help*
We hope the campaign offers a platform for engaging librarians in your region and context to learn more about Wikimedia projects. We know librarians use Wikipedia for a variety of purposes, but the campaign’s story--specifically how our references work--becomes a shared foundation for understanding and entering our community. If you would like to coordinate #1lib1ref in your area, here are the main steps:

Hi all,
I think I lost the thread on this one but picking back up...
I am unable to attend midwinter so not really able to plan for something there. And, as folks who attend midwinter know, this is a more "business" focussed meeting than ALA annual. In any case, my colleagues at the OCLC booth would love to hand out stickers to folks who self identify as having done a citation. We could even do something fun like snap a photo of people with their stickers and post to social media (the OCLC Twitter account has a fair amount of followers).
Is it possible to get a #1Lib1Ref sticker (I know Roy handed out something last year but I don't recall what it was)? Or just a pile of the globe stickers? I can help coordinate this from afar...
Best,
Merrilee

Have you considered including a Wikidata component? In the long run, I expect librarians to spend more of their Wikimedia time on Wikidata, especially around https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Source_MetaData .

Great suggestion, Daniel. I think there can should be a greater effort to promoting Wikidata among librarians with technical expertise because it is closer to what these librarians do (especially among catalogers and other tech types). In sessions introducing editing Wikipedia that included librarians, I've seen the librarians express greater interest in Wikidata than the encyclopedia.
