OCLC Research Wikipedian in Residence Max Klein encourages libraries to host Wikipedia Loves Libraries events

Wikipedia Loves Libraries is a general initiative to improve Wikipedia engagement by bringing Wikipedia and libraries together through on-site events at libraries, archives and related institutions. It is also an annual campaign of Wiki-workshops and edit-athons at libraries that takes place each October and November. OCLC Research Wikipedian in Residence Max Klein is encouraging libraries and archives to host Wikipedia Loves Libraries events and so far almost two dozen have been planned. Events will give attendees the opportunity to learn Wikipedia principles, to edit and improve Wikipedia entries, and to collaborate with experienced local Wikipedians
