Here is an outline of the roles available to libraries, ordered from least to greatest resource investment: </p><p><b>Wikipedia Visiting Scholar</b> </p><p>The least cost/investment opportunity for libraries to get a Wikipedia specialist is a Wikipedia Visiting Scholar position. Like in traditional affiliate researcher role, Wikipedia Visiting Scholars allows engaged Wikipedia editors to partner with an established university library to gain access to its research resources. Visiting Scholars gain full and free access to a library's online catalogue in order to improve articles on the encyclopedia. The partnerships are <i>unpaid and remote</i>. Editors gain access to the best available sources, while libraries help serve their mission of sharing knowledge while learning how to harness the power of Wikipedia. The aim is to build and strengthen connections between universities, the source of creating new knowledge, and Wikipedia, the broadest platform for disseminating it—to generate goodwill between librarians (research heroes) and Wikipedia editors (public knowledge superstars).

Wikipedia Library Interns are interns hired by partner libraries to contribute new Wikipedia content which improves Wikipedia, improves the profile of library digital resources, and gives the students an educational introduction to Wikipedia and best practice within librarian use of social media. These interns edit specific content of interest to the library, while learning more about contributing to Wikipedia through the model developed by the Wikipedia Education Program (<a href="#Education_Program">see below</a>). These internships offer a lower risk investment of time and energy than a Wikipedian in Residence but allows a much more focused effort on exposing the organizations holdings. Interns are especially well placed in Special collections with extensive secondary sources available. </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Library_interns" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library/Library interns">Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Library_interns</a></div> <p><b>Wikipedian in Residence</b> </p><p>Wikipedians in Residence require the most investment of energy and resources from a library, but also can have some of the greatest reward in creating exposure for the library through Wikipedia. Wikipedians in Residence are (usually paid) members of the Wikimedia community who are hired for an extended period of time to facilitate collaboration between the Wikimedia community and the institution. Wikipedians in Residence spend considerable energy ensuring the institution has sufficient knowledge and capacity to collaborate with Wikipedia, running events, coordinating donations, and training staff and affiliated volunteers or scholars in running various other activities (editathons, education program classes, etc.). Though high investment, these roles frequently have very high return: press related to Wikipedians in Residence is often strong and positive; Wikipedians-in-Residence can strategically explore an organizations' resources to identify which collaboration models would work best; and the Wikipedian-in-Residence will have the connections and tools to find and support volunteer contributors in the digital Wikipedia community. </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedian_in_Residence" class="extiw" title="outreach:Wikipedian in Residence">outreach:Wikipedian in Residence</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Education_Program" data-mw-thread-id="h-Education_Program-Ways_to_get_involved"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Education_Program-Ways_to_get_involved"></span>Education Program<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Education_Program-Ways_to_get_involved"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Research_libraries&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Education Program"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Students come to libraries to create research projects every semester, but more often than not that work gets thrown away at the end of the semester, seen by only a few sets of eyes. The Wikipedia Education Program seeks to redirect this lost research, by empowering students to share it on Wikipedia. The Wikipedia Education Program provides faculty and support staff the tools to design assignments that improve students skills in reading, writing, researching, critical thinking, translation and collaboration; gain information and media literacy; and deepen their understanding of copyright, plagiarism, citation, and digital citizenship. </p><p>In most settings, students write Wikipedia articles as substitute for a traditional research paper, taking the pedagogical position of literature reviews. These assignments <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://chronicle.com/article/Wikipedia-a-Professors-Best/149337">engage students</a> in writing for a global audience with real-world purpose: giving the public access to new information.

Talks or workshops from all of these individuals could create opportunities to encourage greater conversations on your campus about not only Wikipedia, but the larger state of information literacy and knowledge dissemination. The community even holds an annual "<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Loves_Libraries" title="Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Libraries">Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Libraries</a>" event, which highlight the importance of such events (we would like to encourage you to organize one during Open Access week).

Usually Wikipedia related lectures engage a broader topic of interest on campus, through the lens of Wikipedia. In the last several years, growing interest in certain topics has grown the number of Wikipedia related-speakers available on topics for example, like: representation of Women and other minorities in the community and topics typically focused on by those groups, such as ethnic studies, women studies or broader topics dominated by these groups in research such as the humanities; Medical knowledge, Wikipedia and its effect on public health; research on information literacy, open access or copyright and the web; and cultural institutions, Wikipedia and open models of collaboration.

Why not try a Wikipedia editathon? Editathons are where a group of new and experienced contributors come together for an extended editing. These have some great benefits: they create devoted time and space for volunteers to contribute to the institutions relationship to Wikipedia; and in research by the Wikimedia community, we have found that new users, especially new contributors that are demographic minorities within the Wikimedia community like women and the senior citizens, feel more comfortable learning how to make their impact on Wikipedia in these personal settings. Frequently, these events are organized around topics of importance to the hosting organization, engages volunteers, and fill gaps on Wikipedia, for example <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism" title="Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism">Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism</a> editathons or <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Black_Lives_Matter_Editathon" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Black Lives Matter Editathon">the Black Lives Matter editathon in 2015</a>. The <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Systemic_bias_workshop_kit.pdf">Systemic bias workshop kit</a> describes the process when thinking about diversity focused editathons. </p><p>Though edithons are powerful tools for contributing content to Wikipedia in the short term, these events may not always create sustainable positive impacts: university editathons don't usually draw very many participants, unless a research group or class requires attendance; non-Wikipedian volunteers that do show up for events are unlikely to continue contributing on their own accord after the event (though they often have much greater information literacy and understanding about Wikipedia); and organizing events can require a number of volunteer and staff hours ahead of time. When planning for editathons, plan for followup opportunities, such as subsequent editathons, volunteer drives, check in opportunities, and/or educational support opportunities. Editathons are also a good way to culminate a series of events (following a talk, for example). </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Model_projects/Edit-a-thon_How-To" class="extiw" title="outreach:GLAM/Model projects/Edit-a-thon How-To">Outreach:GLAM/Model_projects/Edit-a-thon_How-To</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Campaigns:_#1lib1ref" data-mw-thread-id="h-Campaigns:_#1lib1ref-Ways_to_get_involved"><span id="Campaigns:_.231lib1ref"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Campaigns:_#1lib1ref-Ways_to_get_involved"></span>Campaigns: #1lib1ref<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Campaigns:_#1lib1ref-Ways_to_get_involved"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Research_libraries&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Campaigns: #1lib1ref"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In many contexts, both librarians and their patrons are trying to engage with each other via social media.

The editor should take care to include links to other important collections located at other institutions.

Wikidata provides a platform for language-independent, structured and linked data, that is being used to extract the data that has been collected by Wikipedia's volunteers. </p><p>One of the clear applications for this data, has been the synchronization of Authority control records across different databases and repositories. For years, Wikipedia has been collecting the authority controls providing by libraries, standardization communities, and the other database providers (see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Authority_Control" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Authority Control">WP:Authority Control</a>). With Wikidata, the global volunteer community of Wikimedia and the professional communities which curate these authority controls, can work together to create a single repository that connects a number of different materials. These authority controls can be integrated into Wikidata by hand (see <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Authority_control" class="extiw" title="d:Help:Authority control">this page for a guide</a>), through robots, or through semi-automated tools, that help volunteers match the data (for example, see <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mix%27n%27match" class="extiw" title="m:Mix'n'match">Mix'n'match</a>). </p><p>Once topics are integrated into Wikidata, that data can be reused for a variety of purposes relevant to research libraries. For instance, the Yle, the national public broadcaster of Finland, has started using this wide network of Wikidata concepts to tag their broadcasts in their digital archive. By connecting, their productions with Wikidata they not only tag their works, making them easier for search, but they connect them to the vast, multilingual body of knowledge created in Wikipedia and Wikidata. By integrating Wikidata tags, more and more authority controls can be called on to connect the digital archive. </p><p>There are also growing conversations in the Wikipedia community around tools, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Archivists/Citation" title="Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library/Archivists/Citation">Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library/Archivists/Citation</a>, or keeping Wikipedia's citations in a structured database to make them more useful and query-able, <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Source_MetaData" class="extiw" title="d:Wikidata:WikiProject Source MetaData">Wikidata:WikiProject Source MetaData</a>.

Having one or two advocates pursuing these works well, but often doesn't scale or allow enough institutional capacity for all of the activities. Sometimes these activities are best gathered under a single strategy, to ensure that organizational resources are effectively used. </p><p>One strategy for encouraging engagement in your GLAM is to provide guidelines for staff contributions. For example, the National Archive of the United States provides its staff guidelines on how to engage with Wikimedia projects (<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/National_Archives_and_Records_Administration/Guidelines" title="Wikipedia:GLAM/National Archives and Records Administration/Guidelines">see the guidelines here</a>). The State Library of New South Wales has taken the guidelines further, both enacting a similar set of guidelines, but also creating an internal mandate, that when work responsibilities permit, staff should surface any organizational research or resources of public interest on Wikimedia projects. This has led to a number of successful strategies for improving discovery at the State Library of New South Wales, including their work on the <a href="/wiki/List_of_Australian_diarists_of_World_War_I" title="List of Australian diarists of World War I">List of Australian_diarists of World War I</a>, which has been documented in <a class="external text" href="https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/10/16/great-war-memories/">this blog post</a>. </p><p>Sometimes, establishing organizational strategies is sometimes best pursued in peer organizations as an alliance or consortium of like-minded organizations: coalitions of organizations can explore a wider range of experiments, to figure out what activities best support the goals of the libraries community. The best documented example of a network adapting <a href="https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM-Wiki" class="extiw" title="outreach:GLAM-Wiki">GLAM-Wiki</a> strategies like those described above for library or library networks is <a href="https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Case_studies/Catalonia%27s_Network_of_Public_Libraries#Specific_activities" class="extiw" title="outreach:GLAM/Case studies/Catalonia's Network of Public Libraries">the outreach by Amical Wikimedia with the Catalonia Network of Public Libraries</a>.

Information literacy has been primarily defined as a set of skills related to finding, evaluating, and using information. Less attention has been paid to the role of information literacy skills in collaboratively creating information resources for others or how to guide young people in becoming adept contributors to knowledge building that happens in the wilds of the participatory web...The studies presented in this paper suggest that producing information for others in online environments can give young people a starting point for reflecting on where information comes from; such experiences support second-order information literacy skills, which require students to reflect on the nature of information production. To help engender this kind of reflection, information literacy standards should explicitly include producing information for others...

There was also concern that Wikipedia is not a scholarly source, and therefore a library or archives should not be involved with something that is non-academic.
