Hi GLAM and Library Wikimedians,

This is a reminder that #1lib1ref organizing and outreach should start
happening soon, especially with the New Year/holiday season coming up. If
you want to help do outreach or coordination in your region or language
context, but did not receive the organizing email below please let me know.
We are available to answer questions and consult on developing local
iterations and instances of the campaign in your context!

Cheers,

Alex Stinson

Hello #1lib1ref Wikimedia organizers!

You are getting this email if you expressed interest in organizing
#1lib1ref this year, or supported organizing in previous years!

#1lib1ref will launch January 16! We’ll ask librarians to celebrate
Wikipedia’s birthday by adding one reference to Wikipedia.

This is the third year we will be running the campaign ( see
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library/1Lib1Ref/Lessons if
you want to learn from previous years).

Updating content

#1lib1ref is an opportunity to highlight the intimate and growing
relationship between Wikipedia and libraries. We know librarians use
Wikipedia for a variety of purposes, but specifically focusing on how our
references work helps librarians and those they work with understand and
enter our community -- and in turn educate their patrons about our
community . If you would like to coordinate #1lib1ref in your area, here
are the main steps:


1.

Begin outreach to you contact list for allies or partners you think
would be interested in #1lib1ref this year. We find that working with
regional library network organizations helps a lot. You may consider
contacting important partners, who can help you communicate during the
campaign now: to help them prepare blog posts, or other communications for
the campaigns. Examples from previous years can be found at:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library/1Lib1Ref/Press/2017

and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library/

Get to know the campaign pages (see list after the signature), and
translate pages you need in your local language. Feel free to customize
or modify the pages in your language to better meet the needs of your local
community. Please let Jessamyn (cc'ed) or myself know if there are
improvements for campaign pages in your language.


We look forward to collaborating with you! Thanks so much for your help—it
should be a lot of fun, and we can’t do this project without you!

sure to help you find that support!
