Hey Cascadians,
I'm pleased to share that I've got a new hat -- I'm your new
Wikipedian-In-Residence with the OCLC. I'll spearhead an outreach program
between Wikipedians and public librarians. Hooray! This is such a timely
and important project. Thank you Cascadians -- for helping me be a better
Wikipedian.
The initiative will get rolling in the next week or so. I anticipate
knowledge-sharing and collaborations in our locale and around the U.S. Let
me know if you have any questions or would like to get involved. :)
Sincerely,
Monika

Hello,
A few weeks ago wrote about a job opening for a Wikipedian who is based
either in Seattle or in Mateo, California. I got some questions so I will
share what other information I have, all of which is public. The deadline
for applying is Friday 13 January. I wish that some good candidates could
come from Seattle.
The hiring organization is OCLC, a long-time partner of Wikipedia. They
hired a Wikipedian named Max Klein in 2012 who did a bot and database
project that was a precursor to many contemporary Wikidata projects. Since
then OCLC has sent staff to Wikipedia events regularly, particularly to
Wikimania.
Earlier this year OCLC won a grant from the Knight Foundation to do
outreach to public libraries. That is the focus of this present job
opening.
<https://www.oclc.org/news/releases/2016/201612dublin.en.html>
I do not think that they actually got their full funding request, so this
is not a high-budget project.
The Wikimedia Foundation gave them an additional grant to complement this
Knight Foundation request.
<
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/A_Wikipedian-
in-Residence_to_Engage_500_Librarians_and_their_Communities
In this grant, they say that they are offering compensation and benefits
equivalent to 70k/year.
OCLC is a great organization. I do not have inside information on the
position or the role but if anyone has any questions about wiki outreach
jobs in general then feel free to write me.
Thanks,

Hi Monika,
Congratulations. We've needed a Wikimedian to do outreach in the Seattle
area for quite awhile, and I'd be happy to see you doing that as a part of
your work with OCLC.
Looking forward to future collaborations,
Pine

Congratulations!
I look forward to future collaboration between OCLC and the Wikipedia
community.
Cascadia is lucky to have a super Wikipedian in residence in the region.
