The Wikipedia Library/Esino

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Are you coming to Wikimania 2016? Bring books with you to share!

There will be a corner where you can swap your books with books other participants will bring; or leave your books for Esino's community (please read details on Wikimania's wiki).

Swapping books is not just a fun activity: those could be a source of good references for content on our sites, or just items you'd like to donate/bring back home because they're cool anyway—maybe they feature gorgeous pictures, or a language/script many people may have never seen before, etc. Any language is welcome—books in English or in Italian are more likely to be reused by several attendees, though!

Have you found a book released in Esino Lario? Yay! Add a note to the table below.
Want to help with this initiative? Find out how!


The books' corner in Esino Lario is supported by The Wikipedia Library, which helps editors access reliable sources to improve Wikipedia, and also helps knowledge professionals share their collections with the public.
Find out more about the Library, our goals, what we do and how you can get involved on Meta!

How it works

[edit]
  1. Bring your book(s) to Esino Lario;
  2. Label them, specifying if they are meant to be freely taken by others, or if you want them to be donated to the Esino's community;
  3. Leave them at the swapping corner at the Community Village, and/or
  4. Pick other books to create Wikipedia articles and to share with your circles once you go back home.
  5. Add your book to the table below just so that we can track how many of them were shared.

Other tips

[edit]
  • If you don't feel like giving away a book of yours, how about just buying a new one to donate? :)
  • You can pick a book even if you haven't brought one;
  • Please do not pick books which are only meant to be donated to the local community! Those will be labelled accordingly;
  • Help yourself at the table even when it's not attended!
  • You are also welcome to use your favorite book-swapping sites to track your books (example), but that's not mandatory. The "BCID" code some books have comes from that site.

Add to the "table"!

Labels

[edit]

Here you will be able to download our customized label that you can glue to your books. (We should be able to provide some labels in Esino as well if you can't print them on your own.) Or, make your own label! Please just remember to add a QR code and/or a link to this page (wikipedialibrary.org/Esino) so that we can keep tracking these books. Thanks!

Location

[edit]

Table by the Community Village, next to the snacks and drinks tables. There may be presentations going on in the same room, please bear that in mind! There were only 8 books left on the table on Sunday 26 at 5 pm. Please also note that some books may have been swapped without proper labeling or tracking on this page.
