Hi,
I am delighted to announce a new WIR position at the world class British

London.

Wikimedia UK Blog has posted a new item, 'British Library is looking for a
Wikimedian In Residence (6
months)<http://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2012/02/british-library-is-looking-for-a-wikimedian-in-residence-6-months/>'
The British Library is recruiting an experienced Wikipedia editor with a
good understanding of Wikimedia and GLAM projects. The post has funding
from the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the programme of
activities will be run as part of the on-going partnership with Wikimedia
UK. As the official Wikimedian in Residence, the post offers the
opportunity to make a considerable contribution to the public’s knowledge
of the British Library’s unique collections and AHRC-funded projects by
engaging with the widest possible international community of
Wikipedians/Wikimedians and GLAM “e-volunteers”.
The position has been specified in consultation with Wikimedia UK and is an
ideal opportunity for an experienced Wikimedian with strong communication
and organisational skills. The key outcomes will be to promote and
establish collaboration between staff and Wikimedia volunteers, in addition
to arranging Wikipedia (and sister project) training sessions and events at
the Library.
