For advice for cultural professionals at Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums more generally, see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM" title="Wikipedia:GLAM">WP:GLAM</a>.</div> <p>Libraries, special collection, archives have long been sending interns and student hires within their organization to Wikipedia to contribute content in order to expand the visibility of their collections and digital resources. This strategy works: there are a number of documented case studies within this professional community that show increases in traffic to organizations from the general public reading Wikipedia and moreover, from the Wikipedia community. </p><p>As part of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library" title="Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library">The Wikipedia Library</a>, this resources page and its support pages outline a curriculum (<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:TWL/I/Curriculum" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:TWL/I/Curriculum">outlined here</a>) that allows library consortiums, library schools and other cultural professional communities to organize interns and other employees to engage Wikipedia within community best practices. The self-guided curriculum is designed to help interns hired by libraries, special collections or archives get a better sense of the expectations of such contributions to the Wikimedia community, find support among fellow interns and community members, and ensure that they follow best practices that conform to the principles laid out by the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM-Wiki" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:GLAM-Wiki">GLAM-Wiki movement</a>. We have multiple levels of participation for both <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Library_interns#General_activities" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library/Library interns">students without formal library/archival training</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Library_interns#Trained_Librarian_interns" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library/Library interns">students trained in librarianship or archival studies</a> and the resource is appropriate for guiding groups of professionals in a professional development situation. As part of a student's education, it is important that interns understand the "why" of their contributions and how they can use the skills in their future.

As is listed in the <a href="#Published_case_studies">case studies section below</a> a number of institutions have successfully deployed such interns and staff (often in the form of student hires), and have seen an increased access to their digitized special collections material. </p><p>Interns can be distinguished from <a href="/wiki/Wikipedian_in_Residence" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedian in Residence">Wikipedian in Residence</a>, the dominant type of outreach person for interactions with <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM-Wiki" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:GLAM-Wiki">Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums</a> (GLAMS), in that they are not responsible for actively creating cooperations between the organization's staff and the larger Wikimedia community. Moreover, Wikipedia Library Interns are often inexperienced Wikipedia contributors, unlike <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:TWL/WVS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:TWL/WVS">Wikipedia Visiting Scholars</a>, who are experienced Wikipedians editing content of interest to a library; the internship should provide novice contributors an educational introduction to Wikipedia, research skills, and best practices within librarianship. </p><p>Libraries/Archives and Wikipedia share a common mission of disseminating useful research materials; thus internships should be focused on including research materials from both within the institution's digital collection and the larger information ecosystem facilitated by Wikipedia (for further information, see <a href="#Avoiding_COI_and_SPAM">the discussion of avoiding conflict of interest and SPAM</a>). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Motivations" data-mw-thread-id="h-Motivations-Concept"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Motivations-Concept"></span>Motivations<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Motivations-Concept"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Professional_Interns&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Motivations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Internships can be motivated by a number of institutional and student learning goals.

Libraries/archives create internships to: </p> <ul><li>Familiarize students with library/archival practices of accessing and communicating access to different types of research materials</li> <li>Familiarize students with public and digital communication of the resources in a library, special collection, or archive in a model supporting the goals of the <a href="/wiki/Digital_humanities"

new knowledge-based <a href="/wiki/Community_of_practice" title="Community of practice">community of practice</a></li></ul> <p><b>Institutional motivations</b> Institutional motivations often revolve around increasing the institutional impact, including: </p> <ul><li>Increasing public service by the organization, by leveraging student labor to make meaningful public resources</li> <li>Increasing visibility of institutional collections, including special collections, archival materials and finding aids, by creating links on one of the most used research-focused websites in the world</li>

Expanded articles draw greater public attention to a topic and provide a more effective gateway to both institutional resources and the larger research ecosystem. Best practice is to contribute information that can be <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verified" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Verified">WP:Verified</a> both from institutional resources and outside research materials, thus highlight more than just institutional webpages.</li> <li><b>Creating new articles that build upon an institution's strengths</b>. When creating new articles, it is important that the intern provide citations and links to other research materials beyond the institution's resources. The most effective Wikipedia articles endure because they provide a thorough examination of a topic using a wide variety of sources, a few of which don't have a vested interest in the topic.

This disruption can lead to both interns and community members spending considerable time discussing the intern's contributions and reviewing edits. To prevent your internship from causing disruption and entailing excess intern and volunteer time on Wikipedia, it is important to understand two simple community guidelines: <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest" title="Wikipedia:Conflict of interest">WP:Conflict of interest</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Spam" title="Wikipedia:Spam">Wikipedia:Spam</a>. </p><p>The conflict of interest guideline recognizes that many editors have outside motivations affecting their contributions to Wikipedia, but that the goal of any editor should be to avoid promotion of a particular organization or position. Instead contributions should be made with the intention of furthering the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:5" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:5">five pillars of Wikipedia</a>, which includes creating public educational resources. </p><p>Second, the spam guidelines recommend that articles not be created to promote items, people or positions, nor should links be systematically added as <i>solely</i> a means of directing user traffic. Instead content should be thoughtfully placed to promote information acquisition, rather than conversion of traffic or promotion of a particular position. </p><p>With all these warnings about what not to do, it's also important not overthink your additions to Wikipedia! Interns shouldn't have trouble avoiding violations of these guidelines: the main goal of libraries and archives is the promotion of information acquisition. If you approach your editing with good faith and this goal in mind, the community will often provide additional guidance. Generally, if you avoid the following problematic contribution approaches, you shouldn't encounter problems related to these policies: </p> <ul><li><b>Don't simply add links to a Wikipedia article's "External links" section</b> without providing additional expansion to the article's content. Links are useful, but increased information or better organization of information on an article that accompanies a link demonstrates your commitment to improving Wikipedia.</li> <li><b>Don't place multiple links to the same resource on one page unless absolutely necessary.</b> Significant expansions of an article's written content should be the only time that multiple links to a single resource might be added, and only as part of the footnotes <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:V" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:V">verifying the content</a>.</li> <li><b>Make sure to declare your involvement in an internship on your user page</b>. Avoiding such a declaration might lead other users to believe that you are trying to covertly co-opt Wikipedia for other ends. Placing a conflict of interest statement on your user page will help users recognize your involvement in an organization aligned with Wikipedia's mission. For examples of such conflict of interest statements, see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:COIDEC" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:COIDEC">Wikipedia:COIDEC</a>.</li> <li><b>Don't edit articles that describe the actual organization for which you are working</b>: focus your edits on content that your organization has in its holdings, rather than on the organization itself. Writing about the organization for which you work will often be viewed as a Conflict of Interest or SPAM that is promoting your institution. It is generally more acceptable to write articles about, for example, the founder of your organization or any notable people who have worked at your organization, provided that you do not get paid by that person and that you have made a conflict of interest statement on your user page as explained above.</li> <li><b>Don't immediately re-add links to articles when other users have removed them</b>. This can lead to other policy violations, like <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_warring" title="Wikipedia:Edit warring">WP:Edit warring</a>. Instead, approach the other user on their talk page or the article talk page, and ask why they removed it and how you can help improve such changes in the future. Feedback from experienced users never hurts.</li> <li><b>For further guidelines oriented toward other audiences besides institutions</b>, see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Plain_and_simple_conflict_of_interest_guide#Advice" title="Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide">Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide#Advice</a>. Remember, most of these apply to people whose conflict of interest derives from commercial employment, rather than employment by a cultural institution that shares a common mission with Wikipedia: to promote access to information. <b>As long as you are working towards that common mission and openly discuss your editing approach, the community is often receptive to new and valuable content.</b></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Reporting_activities" data-mw-thread-id="h-Reporting_activities"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Reporting_activities"></span>Reporting activities<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Reporting_activities"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Professional_Interns&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Reporting activities"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Evaluation_of_GLAM-Outreach_Activities" class="extiw" title="outreach:GLAM/Evaluation of GLAM-Outreach Activities">outreach:GLAM/Evaluation of GLAM-Outreach Activities</a></div> <p>Communication of activities during an internship is an important part of maintaining an ethical and transparent relationship to the Wikipedia community and provides supervisors and your hiring organization the ability to assess both educational and organizational outcomes.

The Wikipedia community appreciates <b>transparency-oriented and communicative user pages</b>; a communicative user page helps volunteers better assess your intentions.</li> <li>Wikipedians like to be able to monitor what you are working on while contributing to Wikipedia, and the <b>easiest way for Wikipedians to follow your edits is via <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions" title="Special:Contributions">Special:Contributions</a></b>. You don't have to do anything to set this up, but know that all of your contributions are on public record and contribute to your reputation within the community. That being said, everyone makes mistakes, so please don't be timid in contributing: we would much rather have new users "<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Be_Bold" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Be Bold">Be Bold!!!!!</a>" than worry about community reactions. However, be ready to listen to advice from users when they notice that you are making mistakes; contributing to a public, collaborative project like Wikipedia inherently involves making mistakes, and working with others to resolve them.</li> <li>Make sure to use <b>descriptive <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_summaries" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Edit summaries">WP:Edit summaries</a></b>, which indicate to other users that you are consciously making changes, and why you are doing so. Community members tend to be more sympathetic to contributors who actively communicate what changes they are making and why they are making them.

When the institution sponsors an intern, the educational materials here about Wikipedia Library interns provide much of the guidance for that intern as well as tools for discovering community help when they encounter problems. The materials are designed around an 8-week or longer internship at 10-15 hrs a week; however, because all internships are different, the curriculum is designed for customization based on length of internship and amount of time devoted to it. </p><p><b>What administrative support do you need?</b> When setting up support for a Wikipedia Library Intern, important infrastructure includes: </p> <ul><li>an established practicum, intern or student hire program or professional development situation that allows for the role and is either credit-bearing or paid and provides a structure for reporting/supervision.</li> <li>Providing a supervisor for the intern.</li> <li>Staff willing to help help with initial orientation to topics of interest and research materials; typically this will be a librarian or archivist who has significant knowledge of the topic students are writing around.</li></ul> <p><b>Who should be an Intern?</b> Typically, when looking for Wikipedia interns, most students trained as cultural professionals, either. Moreover, particular skills you are looking for, include: </p> <ul><li><b>Self motivated researchers, in a field that encourages public writing and/or synthesis of cultural content</b>; most interns have been Library/Information Science, Humanities or social science students.</li> <li><b>Writers ready to communication with a public audience</b> - the best students already have a knack for public communications</li> <li><b>Flexible learning new technologies, platforms and technical skills</b> - Wikipedia editing has a few small technical hurdles that most everyone can learn, but students who have experimented with web tools in the past, will often learn quicker</li></ul> <p><b>Sample call for applicants</b> Here is a sample call for applicants, that you might find useful: </p> <dl><dd>The [Organization NAME] is offering [# AVAILABLE] internships during the [Period] that concentrate on increasing the visibility of our archival sources on Wikipedia. Based on our collection strengths, interns would be trained on how to add or edit articles on Wikipedia that pertain to primary and secondary source material held in the archives. The collections specialization in [Topics xyz] will focus much of intern research time; however, we are also interested in interns expanding on other topics relevant to our other collections. Interested applicants must provide a resume and sample of research and writing skills. Preferred candidates will be self motivated, have some experience writing for public audiences and/or developing websites or web content, have taken the research skills classes for their major program and have interest in the public communications of the [humanities or other topic].</dd></dl> <dl><dd>If you are interested in an internship at the [INSTITUITION NAME], contact [Name] at [EMAIL].</dd></dl> <p><b>Getting started</b> </p><p>When supervising an intern for the first time, typically you will be in unfamiliar territory in both understanding Wikipedia and leveraging it. Most previous participants have had little experience with Wikipedia! The materials are designed so that the student can go through self-guided training, instead of having to be introduced by the supervisor: so you don't need to master everything. We recommend exploring the following to help support the internship: </p> <ul><li>Going through the assignment design part of the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Training/For_educators" title="Wikipedia:Training/For educators">Education programs training for educators</a> - this outlines frequent design concerns and pitfalls that teachers encounter when students edit Wikipedia. Note the Interns curricula is a bit different than a typical assignment, but they are based on the same principals!</li> <li>Become familiar with guidelines for paid editing from a cultural institution perspective: for example, <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/National_Archives_and_Records_Administration/Guidelines">see the guidelines laid out by the National Archives for their staff</a></li> <li>Preparing a list of notable topics from your collection, that a student could reasonably research. <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Archivists" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library/Archivists">Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library/Archivists</a> outlines the best ways to think about adding information to your archival or special collections holdings! Once you read the Archivists page, we recommend that you create a list of notable topics that your student could work on, frequently topic discovery is the part of the semester that takes the longest, and you, as someone familiar with your holdings, will know best what both meets Wikipedia's <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_policy" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Notability policy">WP:Notability policy</a> . For topics related to archives, typically there is enough outside conversation about the topic that your student would be able to find secondary sources; primary sources should be <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:PSTS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:PSTS">used with care</a>.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Educational_outcomes" data-mw-thread-id="h-Educational_outcomes"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Educational_outcomes"></span>Educational outcomes<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Educational_outcomes"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Professional_Interns&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Educational outcomes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Training/For_educators" title="Wikipedia:Training/For educators">Wikipedia:Training/For educators</a></div> <p>Activities for interns should be tailored to both develop professional skills and other learning outcomes that help further intern education.
