GLAM-Wiki Contribution Study Initiative (CSI) Survey

Welcome to the GLAM-Wiki Contribution Study Initiative (CSI) Survey!

Thank you for taking the time to participate in this important survey. Your insights and experiences are vital to our research, which aims to enhance the collaboration between cultural and heritage institutions and the Wikimedia technical infrastructure.

This initiative seeks to understand and improve how institutions like yours contribute to Wikipedia and its associated projects. Your feedback will be instrumental in:

• Assessing the current contribution pipeline and identifying areas for enhancement.
• Documenting real-life user stories from various GLAM-Wiki effort.
• Identifying opportunities for improvement and prototyping potential solutions.

This survey will cover several areas, including your unit's current participation in Wikimedia activities, the challenges you face, the tools you find most helpful, and your suggestions for improving the partnership. It should take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.

All responses will be kept confidential and will only be used to inform the GLAM-Wiki CSI's research objectives. We may follow up with some respondents to better understand particular areas of interest.
