This document discusses the relationship between public libraries and Wikipedia. It outlines Wikipedia's main functions, including being the 5th most visited website worldwide and having a sophisticated decision-making model. It encourages institutions to partner with Wikipedia to meet information demands and attract new audiences. Some challenges for libraries include incorporating Wikipedia into education programming and communicating editing practices. The document provides examples of New York City libraries that work on Wikipedia, including organizing edit-a-thon events. It concludes by describing various tools that Wikipedians and librarians can use to contribute, such as templates, infoboxes, and specific WikiProjects.

SAFETY NETS: RESCUE AND REVIVAL FOR ENDANGERED BORN-DIGITAL RECORDS- Program ...Micah Altman
The web is now firmly established as the primary communication and publication platform for sharing and accessing social and cultural materials. This networked world has created both opportunities and pitfalls for libraries and archives in their mission to preserve and provide ongoing access to knowledge. How can the affordances of the web be leveraged to drastically extend the plurality of representation in the archive? What challenges are imposed by the intrinsic ephemerality and mutability of online information? What methodological reorientations are demanded by the scale and dynamism of machine-generated cultural artifacts? This talk will explore the interplay of the web, contemporary historical records, and the programs, technologies, and approaches by which libraries and archives are working to extend their mission to preserve and provide access to the evidence of human activity in a world distinguished by the ubiquity of born-digital materials.
Information Science Brown Bag talks, hosted by the Program on Information Science, consists of regular discussions and brainstorming sessions on all aspects of information science and uses of information science and technology to assess and solve institutional, social and research problems. These are informal talks. Discussions are often inspired by real-world problems being faced by the lead discussant.

Since Wikipedia launched in 2001, librarians have maintained a cautious and, at times, hostile relationship with the online, crowd-sourced encyclopedia. Librarians have largely ignored Wikipedia, citing it as an unreliable and non-authoritative resource, and steering information seekers toward traditional reference materials. While librarians waged this quiet war, Wikipedia has gained increasing dominance as an information resource, and is now the indisputable starting point for most quick research. In this presentation, attendees will learn how to wield the power of Wikipedia in their libraries and embrace Wikipedia as an information resource. Presenters will discuss how to use Wikipedia for reference and instruction, linking online resources, increasing search engine optimization, and creating linked data for the semantic web. Presenters will also discuss the great need for librarians to delve into the world of Wikipedia as researchers and contributors; including the ethics of contributing to Wikipedia.

Contributing to the global commons: Repositories and WikimediaNick Sheppard
There is huge potential for universities and their libraries to leverage Wikimedia in order to expose research outputs and collections. Wikimedia comprises sixteen projects in total, including Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. At the University of Leeds, the Research Data Management Service have successfully run a project that focuses on linking research data with the Wikimedia suite of tools via a series of ‘editathons’, in order to increase the visibility of research data and enable reuse on Wikipedia and elsewhere. The project - "Manage it locally to share it globally: RDM and Wikimedia Commons" - was the winning submission to a competition launched in May 2018 and sponsored by SPARC Europe, Jisc and the University of Cambridge, called the "Data Management Engagement Award", which aimed to address cultural challenges involved in promoting effective research data practices.
The project has served as a springboard to further explore Wikimedia strategically, both at the University of Leeds and across the White Rose Consortium. For example we are collaborating on a new project looking at Wikipedia citations of research from York, Sheffield and Leeds, and the proportion of these that are open access. The long term goal might be to establish a "Wikimedian in Residence" across the consortium. In this talk, we will present the project's outputs - including a toolkit that will enable other institutions to apply the same methodology. In addition we will explore the potential of Wikidata to link up repositories and other data silos in a manner that enables reuse and increases impact.

An overview of Wikipedia, followed by a discussion of the relationship between libraries and Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is a really important resource but a lot of people don’t fully understand how it works, and I think it’s particularly important for educators and librarians to do so. This presentation is about what WIkipedia is, how to edit it, and why we can use it as not only a useful source of information but a great information literacy teaching tool.
Wikipedia and Archives: The Why and How of Using Wikipedia for Archival AccessDominic McDevitt-Parks
Presented at "Access Techniques and Systems for Archives" LIS course (Kenneth Heger) at University of Maryland iSchool 4/16/2014.
This presentation covers an introduction to the principles and practices of using Wikipedia for archives and other cultural institutions. I focus especially on profession's conception of access and Wikipedia's place within an archival framework, with some discussion of the history of archives, NARA, and the GLAM-Wiki movement.
Presentation delivered as part of OpenFest Online Symposium at the University of Sheffield on 7th September 2023.
Abstract:
Google something, anything. What are the top ten results? Whether a scientific concept, political theory or research methodology, Wikipedia will almost certainly be near the top, if not the very first result.
As a large-scale collaborative platform funded through charitable donations, with a mission to provide universal free access to knowledge as a public good, Wikipedia is one of the most popular websites in the world and a primary source of information on the web, especially for people outside academia.
This presentation will explore the role of Wikipedia in the information ecosystem, where it occupies a unique role as a bridge between informal discussion and scholarly publication. We explore how it relates to the broader Wikimedia ecosystem, through structured data on Wikidata for instance, and openly licensed media on Wikimedia Commons. We consider the potential for universities to engage strategically with Wikimedia and the benefits of doing so, in the areas of information literacy and research impact, sharing openly licensed text and images to improve Wikipedia, for example, and linking Wikipedia citations to open access repositories.
We will discuss our Wikimedia Champions project at the University of Leeds, which has recruited PGRs to examine Wikipedia in their subject area, identifying areas of need and making contributions. The project has been an opportunity to explore ways of sharing University research with a wider audience in an open and accessible way and thereby contribute to the global commons.

Talk on "Dissecting Wikipedia" given at CRASSH, Cambridge, on 6th March 2013.
Abstract:
Andrew Gray, the British Library's Wikipedian in Residence, has been working on an AHRC-supported program to help more academics and researchers engage with Wikipedia. In this talk, he will give a brief history of the Wikipedia project, looking at its origins and the way it has developed over time. The talk will also cover the growing amount of research done around Wikipedia itself. Well over 2,000 peer-reviewed papers have been published which looked at Wikipedia in some way - looking at the project's content and community, or using this data as a way to study broader questions of collaboration and interaction.

Exploring Article Networks on Wikipedia with NodeXLShalin Hai-Jew
With 4.7 million articles in the English version of Wikipedia, this crowd-sourced online encyclopedia is regularly one of the top-ten visited sites online. For many, this is the go-to source for a first read on a topic. The open-source and free Network Overview, Discovery and Exploration for Excel (NodeXL), which is an add-on to Microsoft Excel, enables the capture of “article networks” from Wikipedia. Such content network analysis-based data visualizations enable the development of research leads; some understandings of public conceptualizations of related concepts, peoples, events, and phenomena; the profiling of Wikipedia editors (both humans and ‘bots), and other research insights. This presentation will showcase this affordance of NodeXL and provide some ideas for practical applications of this channel of research and knowing.
Can you imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge? Every day Wikipedia’s audacious vision comes closer to reality, as humans (and other information services) exploit this top-ranking information source.
Here is an opportunity for educators to learn about how Wikipedia works to realise its position as a ‘neutral compilation of verifiable, established facts.’ and consider what information literacy education looks like in 2015, and how Wikipedia projects provide a way to move from a consumer to creator culture of learning.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
