About

[edit]

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.” Westchester Library System is participating in the event on Wednesday, January 18, 2016 from 9:30 – 11:00 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!
