who wish to collaborate. This typically happens in the context of a library hosting Wikipedians for a presentation to the general public. At these events, the resources of the library are compared and contrasted with Wikipedia, and attendees are encouraged to use each for their respective strengths and as they complement each other. There is an annual tradition to host wiki-workshops and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:EDITATHON" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:EDITATHON">edit-a-thons</a> at libraries around <a href="/wiki/Open_Access_Week" title="Open Access Week">Open Access Week</a> in October/November. </p><p>The advantages of the Wikipedia Loves Libraries model: </p> <ul><li>easy to organize, even at small public libraries</li> <li>welcoming to everyone, Wikipedians, Librarians and all library patrons</li> <li>it's "the living reference section"</li> <li>also, it's fun!</li></ul> <div class="blue-text" style="font-weight: bold;

is already an event in your area. If not, go ahead and add one! Another good place to check is at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup" title="Wikipedia:Meetup">Wikipedia:Meetup</a> to see if there have been other wiki-meetups in your area in the past. If so, you could post there and ask if anyone is interested in a library meetup in October. </p> <dl><dt>Advice for librarians</dt></dl> <p>The best advice here is, "Plan it and they will come." If you schedule a wiki event at your library and list it here, chances are excellent that experienced Wikipedians will notice it and sign up, and then you can coordinate with them about panels and Q&A sessions. You might also like to check whether there is a <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_chapter" class="extiw" title="meta:Wikimedia chapter">Wikimedia chapter</a> active in your area: they'd love to help as well. Libraries should ideally have some computers available for accessing Wikipedia, or wi-fi access so that participants can bring their own computers. Libraries may also wish to compile a short list of special resources that they have available which could assist researchers. For example: Are there National Historic landmarks in your area that could use more information in their Wikipedia articles? Your library might have a wealth of books or other research materials which Wikipedians could use to expand those articles. There are many topics where research at a bona fide library would probably be more useful than just doing online web searches for sources. For example: Local history of towns, biographies of notable individuals in your area, histories of schools, local geographical features, or any other topic you can think of! </p> <dl><dt>Questions?
