Video and Text Report: Conference Presentation From OCLC Research: “Wikipedia and Libraries”

Originally presented in 2020 at the Convegno Stelline Conference (Bibliostar), this session Wikipedia and Libraries: Partnerships to reach the future highlights how OCLC has invested in partnerships with Wikimedia projects, and shares success stories from different types of institutions with a common goal of connecting communities of knowledge.

The accompanying conference paper Wikimedia and Libraries: From Vision to Practice makes an argument that libraries and Wikimedia make great partnerships that can collaborate to strengthen shared information access goals. Illustrative examples are provided from OCLC’s direct experience.
