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.
Merrilee Proffitt is a Senior Program Officer in OCLC Research. She
provides project management skills and expert support to institutions
represented within the OCLC Research Library Partnership, with a special focus
on increasing visibility of archives and special collections.

Friday, Sep 7: Ray R. LARSON: The Social Networks and Archival Context Project:
Status Report.
The SNAC project has been funded for another two years by the Mellon
Foundation. This talk will review the SNAC project, and examine the new data
being included in this round. This includes over 2 million MARC archival
records from OCLC, as well as EAC data from the British Library, the
Bibliothèque National de France, and EAD records from the UK Archives Hub. More

The "Editorial Practices and the Web" project is a collaboration in making
available working notes created in the preparation of documentary editions of
historically important papers and notes made by curators of library special
collections. A shared website for making notes available is now openly
accessible without a password. More at ecai.org/mellon2010
