Hi wiki community!.Iam User:Olgatladi2020


About me

I have been editing Wikipedia since May 2020, but am no expert! I'm still gaining confidence but I'm inspired by the Wiki community every day. I'm involved with the Wikipedia in African Libraries course which is an adaptation of the OCLC Libraries + Wikipedia Better Together curriculum for African Librarians

Professional: I am a librarian at Botswana International University of Science and Technology(BIUST) an institution of higher learning dedicated to research and innovation and capacity building in Engineering, Science and Technology fields. I am passionate about helping to forge connections between libraries, archives and Wikimedians (I am a fan of museums, too but that's not where my competency is). I'm particularly interested in the special role that library authority data can play in the wider world. Professionally, my home base is the corner of special collections and digitization, which is where I've worked since 2018.I do, from time to time, insert links or create articles based on library resources.

Conflict of interest statement

I contribute as part of Wikipedia in African Libraries course which is an adaptation of the OCLC Libraries + Wikipedia Better Together curriculum for African Librarians. OCLC is non profit library service provider dedicated to serving the global library community helping broaden access. . I will not make any edits that would not be beneficial to the goals of Wikipedia. While my editing is sort of all over the map, I do like to improve access to important, free, scholarly sources held in libraries and archives. I always strive to strictly abide by Wikipedia's accepted practices on conflicts of interest, neutrality, and notability. I will not make edits that I do not believe are in accordance with Wikipedia's practices and procedures.

I will modify my editing behavior based on problems cited by other editors or if my editing conflicts with other Wikipedia guidelines. I ask that other editors do not hesitate to contact me, via my user talk page, if I appear to be going against this declaration.
