By now you no longer need convincing. Wikipedia is not only a ubiquitous reference platform for our users, but is also home to a thriving, global volunteer community that is eager to distribute the deeper expertise residing in museums. So now what? As a group of Wikipedians who help museums share content, GLAM-Wiki has made great strides in formalizing over the past few years. But how do museum technologists better connect and interface with this resource? How can we work together to more efficiently share our media, research, and expertise?
This presentation shares the current progress of the GLAM-Wiki infrastructure, offering insights into how museums can best connect with the Wikipedia community in order to share cultural resources on the globally accessible platform. The future of GLAM-Wiki will be considered, including a proposed model that will allow museums to support one another in Wikipedia-focused endeavors.

Sesame Street was created in response to several historical circumstances in the late 1960s. There was a growing national concern over poverty and racial inequities following civil rights movements. Joan Ganz Cooney came up with the idea for an educational children's television program after seeing the success of Head Start. The show's creators used research and testing to develop a magazine format featuring both adult and puppet characters that balanced education with entertainment through songs and cartoons. While praised for its educational value, some critiqued how it portrayed minority groups or argued that TV was not the best way to educate children.

Archival materials like photos can be input by adding metadata and converting to PDFs to attach in Zotero records.
This document discusses Zotero, an open-source reference management software. It provides tutorials on basic functions and input methods. Zotero allows users to collect, organize, cite and share research sources. It provides advantages for planning future research through features like searchable folders to contain leads and organize items. The document also addresses inputting archival materials and digital files into Zotero.
Zotero is a free and easy-to-use tool for collecting, organizing, citing, and sharing research sources that lives directly in a web browser. It may be better than Endnote for some users as it allows research to be organized and accessed directly from the web browser. Basic tutorials are provided that demonstrate how to build a Zotero library and add Zotero citations in Word and OpenOffice documents.
