Hi Phoebe -

These are very useful, thanks!
In my region, public librarians admit to being "scared" of Wikipedia and don't know much about it or how to use it. So...

*...here's a slide deck developed for a branch-wide presentation as an intro to Wikipedia:

http://www.slideshare.net/bdcousineaul/10-things-you-need-to-know-about-wikipedia-but?from_search=2

* ... and here's an adaptation of a manual originally developed by Susanna Giaccai (still in my sandbox - feel free to improve!):

Cheers,

Bettina

As we enter Wikipedia Loves Libraries season (hooray!) I thought I'd share
some material I'm working on ... it started as a handout for librarians but
changed to being ideas for librarians and participants at library
edit-a-thons. It is a list of editing ideas that (I think) are suited to
taking advantage of library resources.

pdf handout:
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ten_ideas_for_editing_Wikipedia_handout_for_library_editathons.pdf

wiki page:
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Loves_Libraries/Editing_ideas

I have been reluctant to share this because "it's not finished"... but that
is very un-wiki of me :) But, it's not finished -- especially the wiki
page. So, please help me edit, clean-up, redesign, and in general let me
know if you think this is a good idea or not. (And I will keep working on
this over the next few weeks).

cheers,
Phoebe
