Hi, As a follow-up to my previous email, The Wikipedia Library team will be hosting Office Hours next week! Time:* 10th February, 1pm-2pm UTC* ( https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1644498009) Link:* https://meet.google.com/ycm-rjos-oqc/ <https://meet.google.com/ycm-rjos-oqc/>* The Office Hours will be a chance for you to learn about how to get the most out of the library, ask us any questions that you might have, or request that we add certain content that’s of interest to you and your community. If there’s interest in future Office Hours we’d be happy to schedule more at another day/time.

Hi all, The issue of readers not being able to view links to library content is definitely one we're aware of. Ultimately we agree with Rebecca in believing this to be net-positive, in that Wikipedia can now summarise previously inaccessible information, but we absolutely do want to encourage editors to use open access sources wherever possible. In the new search feature we included an Unpaywall integration which shows links to free-to-read versions of search results alongside the paywalled links wherever possible. This means that editors can choose to cite that version alongside or instead of the 'primary' URL where appropriate. Additionally some library partners (e.g. Newspapers.com) have functionality by which editors can link to 'clippings' of the source which are free for readers to view. We've been encouraging other publishers to include such features and have even had a few conversations about the potential of making links from Wikipedia to paywalled resources free-to-read based on referring URL, though that's a much harder conversation! Also worth noting we had a conversation about this back in 2015 and wrote a blog post on the topic you might find helpful: https://diff.wikimedia.org/2015/09/16/open-access-in-a-closed-world/ Best, Sam On Thu, 27 Jan 2022 at 04:48, Erik Moeller wrote: > On Wed, Jan 26, 2022 at 11:25 AM Samuel Klein wrote: > > --> collab w/ a free-content annotation + summarization service > > Strong +1.

Hi Xavier, I think that's a great suggestion and something we had in the team's backlog. You can find the Phabricator ticket at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T226804. The main page does detect the browser language, and will use that interface language if we have a translation for it ( https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:Wikipedia_Library_Card_Platform, though note https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T299898) On this topic, if anyone is interested in contributing to the library's codebase, it runs on Django (Python) and you can find guidance for setting up the tool locally at https://github.com/WikipediaLibrary/TWLight/wiki.

[Wikimedia-l] Re: The Wikipedia Library: Accessing free reliable sources is now easier than ever
Thanks all! Cunctator - As Juergen notes, the search tool does index some major open access repositories already. We've gone back and forth on including open access repositories into the tool more directly (i.e. listing them in 'My Library') because we weren't sure what criteria to use for listing a publication/website, we could imagine quite easily having an unwieldy list of a huge number of free-to-read websites that's difficult to navigate. For that reason we focused on the paywalled repositories for now. Curious to hear if folks have any ideas about how we could include an open access/free-to-read section which has reasonable boundaries. Anupam - "My Collections" are the resources which are available for you to access right now; by default you'll have a bunch here which are immediately accessible to all users. "Available Collections" are the additional resources which have a limited number of concurrent users; these you need to apply to access before they'll be added to "My Collections". Xavier - We're absolutely looking to diversify the languages covered by the library's collections! Once you're logged in please head over to https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/suggest/ and add any suggestions you have, or 'upvote' other suggestions. We get all the content for the library through partnerships and this list, among others, directly feeds into our prioritisation of which resources to pursue.

[Wikimedia-l] The Wikipedia Library: Accessing free reliable sources is now easier than ever
Hi all, We've just published a blog post summarising the new features and functionality available to active Wikipedia editors in The Wikipedia Library: https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/01/19/the-wikipedia-library-accessing-free-reliable-sources-is-now-easier-than-ever/ The Wikipedia Library is a tool providing active Wikipedia editors with free access to otherwise-paywalled resources, including journals, books, newspapers, magazines, and databases. Over the past 5-10 years the library has built up a large collection of content from a wide range of publishers. In the past couple of years we've been finalising the centralised Wikipedia Library tool used for accessing all this content: https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/. I'm really pleased to announce that we've finished work on some long-requested and planned features which make it really simple to use! The library now has: - Proxy-based authentication for direct access of resources without a secondary login - A centralised search feature for browsing multiple collections from one place - An on-wiki notification to let editors know about the library when they have crossed the eligibility threshold (rolling out in stages throughout January) As the project I first joined the Wikimedia Foundation to work on years ago I'm personally thrilled that we've finally been able to deploy all these features! If you're eligible to use the library (500+ edits, 6+ months editing) you can jump in and start using the library straight away. We're now working on expanding and diversifying the content available in the library, so let us know on the suggestions page if there are collections you want us to make available: https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/suggest/ If the tool isn't currently localised into your language, you can translate it on TranslateWiki: https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:Wikipedia_Library_Card_Platform We're planning to host some Office Hours, which will be a chance to get a walkthrough of how to use the library, as well as discuss your research needs and requests for new collections with the team.

[Wikimedia-l] The Wikipedia Library - new technical improvements and partnerships now available
Hi all, The Wikipedia Library team at the Wikimedia Foundation is pleased to announce new technical improvements to the Library Card platform and the addition of 6 new publisher collections. If you’re an active editor who would find free access to paywalled reliable sources useful for your contributions, log in now to see what you can access: https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/ More than half of the publishers available through the library can now be accessed directly through the Library Card platform, rather than requiring an individual account to be set up and maintained for each. Additionally, the Library Bundle provides immediate access to 60% of our content with no application required! We’re also excited to announce that 6 new publishers have joined the program, including ProQuest, Springer Nature, and the Central and Eastern European Online Library. You can read more about these changes in the blog post we just published: https://space.wmflabs.org/2020/06/24/simplifying-your-research-needs-the-wikipedia-library-launches-new-technical-improvements-and-partnerships/ We hope you find these resources useful, and would love to hear your feedback at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Library_Card_platform/Authentication-based_access Best, Sam -- Sam Walton Product Manager, The Wikipedia Library Wikimedia Foundation swal...@wikimedia.org ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
