Library staff from
Western Libraries, the library system for
Western University, have been working with the Wikimedia community as part of
WikiProject GLAM since January 2019. This is the space where we organize event planning and our project work in Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, and Wikidata.
Goal
To foster a community of practice among library staff and the campus community that centers on:
Experimentation with
linked data through Wikidata project work
Openly sharing library and archival resources that are in the public domain through Wikimedia platforms
Teaching wiki editing skills needed to enrich Wikipedia, Wikimedia, and Wikidata content
Planning wiki events for the Western University campus community
Join our monthly Wiki Tuesday meetup!
Virtual meetup on the first Tuesday of every month
