I would like to see the library collaboration also have a focus on
locality and local archival resources, which are often held by the
library. Without being too venal about it, I think the local angle
creates a sense of "belonging" and also illustrates the unique materials
held by the library.
Another angle would be to find out what special collections the local
library has, and emphasize those.

Thanks Bettina and Pheobe,
Pheobe, the 'Editing ideas' document that you have is very useful, and I
will try to expand on it.
I'd like to contribute a document that I created as part of a GLAM
workshop in NY.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_for_Libraries_Archives_Museums
We talked about what kind of sustainable, regular, project librarians
could build so that editing or training their library users became a
more regular part of their work.
Cheers,
Dorothy

Hi Phoebe -
These are very useful, thanks!
In my region, public librarians admit to being "scared" of Wikipedia
and don't know much about it or how to use it. So...
*...here's a slide deck developed for a branch-wide presentation as
an intro to Wikipedia:
http://www.slideshare.net/bdcousineaul/10-things-you-need-to-know-about-wikipedia-but?from_search=2
* ... and here's an adaptation of a manual originally developed by
Susanna Giaccai (still in my sandbox - feel free to improve!):

As we enter Wikipedia Loves Libraries season (hooray!) I thought
I'd share
some material I'm working on ... it started as a handout for
librarians but
changed to being ideas for librarians and participants at library
edit-a-thons. It is a list of editing ideas that (I think) are
suited to
taking advantage of library resources.
pdf handout:
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ten_ideas_for_editing_Wikipedia_handout_for_library_editathons.pdf
wiki page:
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Loves_Libraries/Editing_ideas
I have been reluctant to share this because "it's not
finished"... but that
is very un-wiki of me :) But, it's not finished -- especially
the wiki
page. So, please help me edit, clean-up, redesign, and in
general let me
know if you think this is a good idea or not. (And I will keep
working on
this over the next few weeks).
cheers,
Phoebe
