Max KLEIN and Merrilee PROFFITT, OCLC Research: Wikipedia and Libraries: What's
the Connection?
We'll talk about synergies between libraries and Wikipedia, what OCLC Research has
been doing to connect libraries and Wikipedia to ensure that those who start their
research in Wikipedia can find resources in libraries. We'll talk about our VIAFBot
project and a range of potential projects that we've identified that will be
interesting to both librarians and Wikipedians.
Max Klein is OCLC Research's Wikipedian in Residence. He is working with OCLC
Research as community coordinator to explore and pursue mutually beneficial projects
between OCLC, library stakeholders, and the Wikipedia community through a range of
activities, including working with OCLC staff and libraries to help foster a broader
understanding of Wikipedia's practices.

The SNAC project has been funded for another two years by the Mellon Foundation. This

Hub. More at
