Dear African Wikimedia communities,
I am excited to share an update on the recent partnership between AfLIA and
the WMF. [1] This partnership was secured as part of an outreach strategy
for 1Lib1Ref: facilitating Wikimedia community access to libraries who
offer expertise and access in national and continental knowledge, and often
make great allies for other local activities like editathons or GLAM
partnership.
The cooperation includes several projects aimed at introducing librarians
to the Wikimedia community as well as ensuring librarians can support our
communities across Africa. As part of this partnership we piloted a
localized version of 1Lib1Ref (African Librarians Week) [2] which exceeded
our expectations and is currently engaging more than 842 librarians. Thanks
to our regional ambassadors (*Georges, Pamela, Ingrid & Ayo*) who played a
key role in the success of the May campaign.
We realized early on that AFLIA was eager to train more of their community.
We supported them to apply for a project grant, because we knew how
resource intensive it could be to develop successful, large scale library
training.[3] The grant has been approved and AfLIA is looking forward to
working closely with our communities to provide training and onboarding
librarians within their networks into the respective Wikimedia communities
on the continent.
We want to make sure that all of the existing Wikimedia community groups
throughout the continent benefit from this partnership. The goal is to
train librarians so that they can become part of all our communities, the
partnership will likely continue to bring:
-
Opportunities to advise on the training in the grant, and use the
professional training materials
-
Connections with regional and national library associations
-
Connect with enthusiastic library leaders in your context
The team for the project is hiring a *Wikipedian in residence (WiR)*
and a *Curriculum
Development Consultant*.[4][5] Please follow the links to apply for any of
the roles if interested.
Reach out to me or Alex Stinson (astinson(a)wikimedia.org) if you would like
to be part of the conversation with AfLIA and take advantage of their
network in your respective countries.
Best,
