The Levy Library at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is hosting a meeting for librarians to participate in the Wikipedia #1Lib1Ref (one librarian, one reference!) campaign.
We are getting ready for Wikipedia's #1Lib1Ref campaign. Last year we made a big impact with our call to “Imagine a World where Every Librarian Adds One More Reference to Wikipedia.” The Levy Library is participating in the event on Friday, January 27, 2016 from 3:00 – 5:00 pm. We want your help!
Wikipedia’s strength is in its references, which is the source of Wikipedia's reliability. #1Lib1Ref is the library community coming together to give us a most precious gift: a citation. We hope the experience of #1Lib1Ref can provide tools and experience to help librarians critically integrate Wikipedia into the broader research and information literacy landscape. We are doing the coffee hour!
Organizations supporting Wikipedia outreach to health organizations and providing Wikipedia support for this event include the following:
