What problem does this solve?

edit

Each institution is different and needs different resources. Initiatives on Wikipedia- GLAMs, WiRs, and other projects should make a point of finding and aggregating resources that already exist for Wikipedia editors in that field of interest as more and more learning resources for subject-specialists are being developed.

What is the solution?

edit

Making a centralized resources and learning space specific to your project.

How To:

edit
  • Aggregate resources that already exist relevant to questions

What to include

edit

Here are some resources that would be useful on any page:
GLAM-Wiki and Wikipedia and Libraries Resources

Beginning Resources

Tutorials and Lesson Plans

Conflict of Interest Editing

Journal Access

  • You can use Worldcat free to get citations in MLA, Chicago, and other bibliographic formats.
  • The Wikipedia Library Journals Project works to grant Wikipedians access to databases to help with their Wikipedia work, and reference work, and for general knowledge. You can request an account on the project pages but must do so in advance. Some journals, such as JSTOR, require editors to have at least 1 year and 1000 edits worth of experience.
