Wikipedia is op 15 januari jl. gestart met de campagne #1Lib1Ref. Het idee erachter is dat elke bibliotheekmedewerker een referentie toevoegt aan Wikipedia. Immers, Wikipedia is steeds vaker het vertrekpunt voor onderzoekers, studenten, etc. En bibliotheekmedewerkers hebben de onontbeerlijke kennis die deze zoektocht verder kan helpen.
Als je de wetenschap vooruit wilt helpen en je kennis wilt delen, lees dan hieronder de oorspronkelijke oproep.
Imagine a World where Every Librarian Added One More Reference to Wikipedia
Wikipedia is a first stop for researchers. Let’s make it better! Your goal today is to add one reference to Wikipedia! Any citation to a reliable source is a benefit to Wikipedia readers worldwide. When you add the reference to the article, make sure to include the hashtag #1Lib1Ref in the edit summary so that we can track participation.
Running from January 15 to February 3, the #1Lib1Ref campaign is and has been supported by Wikipedia Library and a number of Wikimedia Affiliates around the world. We also work closely with a number of local library networks to promote the campaign. Check out who is participating and add your organization.
