Librarians Can Edit Wikipedia
Edit WIkipedia Yourself
Make your Collections Accessible Wikimedia Movement's GLAM outreach strategy Galleries Libraries Archives Museums Scan your books. Open access to your databases. Even if it’s not “clean” or “pretty” data
“Imagine a world where every librarian added one more reference to wikipedia.” #1Lib1Ref The campaign ended Feb 3rd, but it’s still a noble goal! Source: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library/1Lib1Ref
Librarians Can Organize Wikipedia
Categories, Lists, and Info Boxes! Oh my!
Categories Administration categories or project categories Used mainly by Wikipedia's editors for project management purposes, rather than for browsing. Category:All_articles_with_unsourced _statements Container categories Only contain other categories Category:Wikipedia_categories Set categories Contain articles on subjects in a particular class Category:Taylor_Swift_albums Topic categories Contain articles relating to a particular subject Category:Pop_music Set-and-topic categories A combinations of the two above types Category:Taylor_Swift Universal categories Provide a complete list of articles which are otherwise normally divided into subcategories Category:1989_births
Lists
