My work
I'm working with the WebJunction team at OCLC on Wikipedia + Libraries: Better Together. We have been building bridges between Wikipedia and U.S. public libraries by designing and delivering educational learning opportunities for public library staff, foregrounding the why before the how in order enable library staff to meaningfully and confidently incorporate Wikipedia into their programming. Equally, I'm focused on raising the profiles of public libraries and their professional communities within the Wikipedia community.
