*#1lib1ref*

#1lib1ref (one librarian, one reference) is an international initiative to encourage librarians and information professionals to improve Wikipedia by adding just one citation. It runs from 15 January to 3 February 2018, and more details can be found here https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library/1Lib1Ref. If you have any questions about this, or want to get your library involved, do get in touch!

*Art+Feminism*

Art+Feminism will be returning in March 2018. Last year Ireland held one event in Galway, and this year we aim to build on that. Are you interested in helping hosting an event, or have a suggestion on how Ireland could contribute to this worldwide event? Get in touch with us! More details on the international campaign are on the main website here http://www.artandfeminism.org/.
