Engage your network

We are looking for partner organizations. Partner organizations can help spread the campaign by:

  • Participating in blogging, email and social media sharing during the campaign
  • Directly calling on librarians in your network to participate in the campaign
  • Holding webinars or other educational activities during the week

If you are interested contact Felix Nartey (fnartey@wikimedia.org) or the whole TWL team (wikipedialibrary@wikimedia.org). They can help with communications strategies, resources to share with your network, and finding volunteer networks in your area. Partners get the added bonus of being listed on the main page of the campaign, and being included in our social media push during the campaign.

We are also excited to help librarians learn about this campaign, but we need to share it. Tweeting about your contributed Wikipedia references, links to this page, and generally sharing the page using social media are all helpful. Here are the platforms where we have a presence:

Also, reach out to your press contacts, to helps share the news about the campaign in library and information science networks.

Further engage your library!

Libraries are fundamental allies to the mission of Wikipedia: collecting and disseminating the sum of all knowledge. Because of this basic mission alignment, Wikipedia editors have been engaging their local libraries as part of the Wikimedia movement's GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) outreach strategy. Read case studies from the Catalan Network of Public Libraries, the State Library of New South Wales, the National Library of Israel, the National Archives of the United States, and many more.
