I’m very excited about this workshop. I use Wikipedia all the time, but sometimes I would like to improve the articles that are on subjects I know about—or sometimes I think I might even like to create new articles. I haven’t taken a workshop in years, but I’m really looking forward to this one!!

Why, Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums of course! On Friday, April 26, 2013, 8:00 am to Noon, take the workshop and learn how you can get GLAMorous! Did you know that Wikipedia is the 5th most popular website in the world? Did you also know that there are detailed Wikipedia entries for every episode of the television Seinfeld episode, but art history topics are largely underrepresented? Learn more about how you and your institution can contribute to Wikipedia to increase exposure of art historical information and learn how to become involved in the GLAM-Wiki Initiative. The Art of GLAM-Wiki: The Basics of Sharing Cultural Knowledge with the World on Wikipedia This workshop will teach you how to engage with Wikipedia and the Wikipedia community. You will learn the basics of Wikipedia's policies and procedures, basic editing skills to get you started, and qualify you for the unique opportunity to share your institution’s cultural heritage holdings with a large and diverse audience of readers and researchers. This workshop aims to build attendee confidence in working with Wikipedia and the importance of sharing data through it - including curatorial data, metadata, and media. We are very excited that two experienced GLAM Wikipedians are traveling to Pasadena to lead this workshop! Sarah Stierch, US OpenGLAM Coordinator for the Open Knowledge Foundation and Wikipedian in Residence at the World Digital Library Sara Snyder, Webmaster, Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution In this short video see Sarah and Sara talk about how the Archives of American Art is helping Wikipedia. They held an “Edit-a-thon” with the local Wikipedia community to write high-quality entries about the 1913 International Exhibition of Modern Art, often referred to as the Armory show. To learn more about the launch of US OpenGLAM read Sarah’s blog post here.
