_____ #1) Knowledge Equity - grow new contributors and content __x__ #2) Knowledge as a Service - increase reach _____ #3) Knowledge as a Service/Foundational Strength - evolve our systems and structures _____ None of the above       How does your program affect the annual plan topline goal: The Community programs team works with extensive networks of allies and institutions to solidify the position of the Wikimedia movement within the professional discourse and practices of the library, education, and cultural heritage (GLAM) communities. This work helps develop high-level shared strategies and initiatives across our worlds, and also enables local communities and partners to better implement programs, and practices, which expand the reach of the movement.
Program Goals
The professional heritage, library, and education communities become full allies and partners to share free knowledge through and beyond Wikimedia projects.

Outcome 1
Key GLAM professional communities are more knowledgeable about Wikidata and structured data on Commons and have access to the appropriate infrastructure to gain skills, Wikimedia contacts and workflows to initiate those projects.
	Output 1
	Work with professional allies to create documents with broad reach in the professional GLAM and LODLAM communities, that highlight the "best practices and opportunities" for utilizing Wikidata that speaks to the landscape of opportunities in both established and emerging communities. As part of this work, we will produce a white paper and support at least 2 other publications over the course of the year which provide targeted communications to the GLAM community about the importance of Structured Commons and Wikidata for the professional space.
	Output 2
	Work with at least 4 influential, movement-level strategic partners and umbrella organizations with worldwide reach in the GLAM/LODLAM field, to develop joint projects that demonstrate the role of Wikidata, WikiBase or Structured Data on Commons as connective heritage platforms.
Outcome 2
Improved relationships with partner institutions in the Education space focused on helping to integrate Wikimedia projects into efforts to achieve global goals (e.g. digital literacy/21st century skills) and build awareness of projects, the movement, and content creation opportunities.
	Output 3
	Two external partnerships are developed by the end of FY 18-19 with 20% of Education Team staff time dedicated to developing and maintaining partnerships
Outcome 3
Improved relationships and awareness within the Wikimedia foundation/movement about the value and impact of collaboration with GLAM, Library, and Education spaces better positions Community Programs team (and WMF) to pursue partnerships, secure funding, and do external outreach.
	Output 4
	Four Community Programs Showcases (sharing inspirational case studies and good practices of programs activities within the movement) are held virtually by Q4
	Output 5
	Cross-departmental/team projects receive educational support including Global Reach, New Readers, Community Resources, L&E, etc.
Outcome 4
More librarians are exposed to the benefit of Wikipedians and Librarians collaborating.
	Output 6
	Maximize networks in 5 social media channels using blog posts, tweets, tweetstorms, multimedia, and reporting.
Outcome 5
Editors have more available resources for use in improving the quality of content on Wikimedia projects through partnership with scholarly publishers.
	Output 7
	More publishers will have joined the Wikipedia Library Partnership Program, with access distributed through the Library Card Platform.

Targets

Outcome 1	Target 1	Measurement method
Key GLAM professional communities are more knowledgeable about Wikidata and structured data on Commons and have access to the appropriate infrastructure to gain skills, Wikimedia contacts and workflows to initiate those projects.	Engagement of 30 LODLAM and Wikimedia community members in community in the development of white papers and other documents created. In theory we would like to measure the number of GLAM and LODLAM institutions and initiatives using Wikimedia’s Linked Open Data environment. In practice, neither the Wikimedia programmatic community, Wikidata nor Commons provide the infrastructure for monitoring GLAM engagement with structured data. This would require investment in community project tracking infrastructure that benefits both the institutions and community organizers. We considered other measures of reach and readership of publications made as part of this line of effort: but we feel that those measures would be too superficial, and should not be targets by which we evaluate the success of our work.	Number of Wikimedia and professional community members engaged in White Paper and other documentation development process through authorship or feedback processes
Outcome 2	Target 2	Measurement method

Targets

Outcome 1	Target 1	Measurement method
The Wikimedia Education community experiences more consistent and timely response across regions through the development of more efficient and equitable processes.	51% of education community stakeholders report satisfaction with timeliness and quality of support they receive from team.	Education program community survey
Outcome 2	Target 2	Measurement method
GLAM, Education, and Library-focused community program practitioners have more opportunities to learn new practices related to their program areas through improved documentation and shareable resources.	By the end of FY, 75 community members gain additional skills in GLAM partnerships or structured data during training sessions at Wikimedia movement events. At least 70% of participants in trainings describe trainings as introducing useful skills for implementing GLAM projects. We would like to sustainably grow the number of communities able to implement GLAM projects within emerging communities and that advance knowledge equity. Though unable to measure this change now, this research will develop recommendations for how we implement, measure, and evaluate that change.	Participant headcount, feedback surveys at the end of training sessions
Outcome 3	Target 3	Measurement method
