About this event

  • 4 hours

Attention librarians, archivists, and historians! We all wish more people would use digitized research and collections from reliable sources. So, let’s meet people where they are — Wikipedia — and connect them to great resources from your institution’s collections.

Adding images from digital library collections into Wikipedia will increase traffic to your website, accessibility to your collections, and grow your audience.

No experience needed! Expert Wikimedians will be on hand to help you get started.


This event is free and lunch will be provided bythe Wikimedians of Indiana User Group
