Because our people are stuffed full of knowledge and have access to excellent resources, they make fantastic Wikipedia editors. GLAMs should support this distributed digital outreach to make Aotearoa NZ storytelling on the internet more complete and trustworthy for our audiences.
This workshop shows you how to build a community of editors in your own organisation, and get them making small but significant contributions that don’t require the resources of a big project.
Experience editing Wikipedia will be useful but isn’t required.
Participants will:
Understand how staff contributing to Wiki is strategically smart for GLAMs
Learn how to make the case for management support and professional development
Learn about making small but significant contributions that use their collections and research
Experience a learning session for themselves
Get a framework for creating their own learning sessions for their staff
Learn how they can get support and resourcing from Wikimedia Aotearoa
