Dear all,
OpenCitations [1], the EXCITE Project [2] and Europe PubMed Central [3] are organising a Workshop on Open Citations at the University of Bologna in Bologna, Italy [4] on September 3-5, 2018 – https://workshop-oc.github.io<https://workshop-oc.github.io/>.
Our idea is to have:
* Day One and Day Two of the Workshop: Formal presentations and discussions on the creation, availability, uses and applications of open bibliographic citations, and of bibliometric studies based upon them. This will involve both invited and contributed presentations.
* Day Three: A Hack Day on Open Citations to see what services can be prototyped using large volumes of open citation data.
We look forward to welcoming all those interested in open citation data, including researchers, computer scientists, scholarly publishers, academic administrators, research funders and policy makers. The workshop will be organised around the following topics:
1. Opening up citations: Initiatives, collaborations, methods and approaches for the creation of open access to bibliographiccitations.
2. Policies and funding: Strategies, policies and mandates for promoting open access to citations, and transparency and reproducibility of research and research evaluation.
3. Publishers and learned societies: Approaches to, benefits of, and issues surrounding the deposit, distribution, and services for open bibliographic metadata and citations.
4. Projects: Metrics, visualizations and other projects. The uses and applications of open citations, and bibliometric analyses and metrics based upon them

Ciao a tutti,
scusando un minimo di crossposting volevamo ricordare a chi volesse passare che da domani fino a domenica ci ritroviamo sull'Appennino Tosco-Emiliano a San Romano (LU) per un edit-a-thon su varie piattaforme. Saremo in una stanza della locale biblioteca.
Domenica abbiamo la visita alla fortezza delle Verrucole per le ore 10:30, e l'evento si concluderà poco dopo pranzo.
La pagina dell'incontro per altri dettagli e segnalare la vostra eventuale presenza è questa https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gruppi_locali_di_lingua_italiana/Toscana/Ed….
Se volete venire in treno, qualcuno dei presenti in macchina può passare a prendervi a una delle stazioni vicine di Villetta San Romano, Camporgiano o Poggio Careggine Vagli.
Qua siamo già arrivati in tre!
CiaoAlessandroAndreaLuca
P.S. l'albergo dove siamo ha una piscina. Portate il costume...

ti chiederei la gentilezza, se possibile, di girare l'info ad altri
wikipediani, magari interessati al tema. Grazie per la collaborazione,

Oggetto: New book highlights connections between libraries and

New book highlights connections between libraries and Wikimedia projects
“Leveraging Wikipedia: Connecting Communities of Knowledge”
<https://www.alastore.ala.org/content/leveraging-wikipedia-connecting-commun…> is
a new book published by the American Library Association that highlights
the myriad connections between Wikimedia projects and libraries. Edited
by OCLC Research’s Merrilee Proffitt, the book contains 15 chapters
highlighting ways librarians and Wikimedia projects have been
intertwined since Wikipedia’s founding in 2001.

I was honored to contribute a chapter to the book highlighting the work
Wiki Education and the broader Wikipedia Education Program has done to
connect academia and Wikipedia. Several other Wiki Education friends and
collaborators offer their insight throughout the book, making it an
interesting read for any university librarian looking to get more
involved in Wikipedia, Wikidata, or Wikimedia Commons — or just
interested in how programs work in the Wikipedia space.
Andrew Lih’s chapter on the history of collaborations between “GLAM
institutions” — Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums — and the
Wikimedia projects offers a helpful overview for both newcomers and
experienced Wikimedians alike. Lih explains the mutual interests of both
Wikimedians and GLAM institutions, and highlights several
collaborations, including an explanation of the Wikipedia in Residence
model adopted by several institutions.
A chapter written by Alex Stinson and Jason Evans is filled with case
studies and tips for collaborations. With practical insight and broad
overviews of a number of ways Wikimedians and librarians can collaborate
— including references to both Wiki Education’s Classroom Program and
Visiting Scholars Program — the chapter is a must-read for any librarian
looking to survey the options of where to get started with Wikipedia.
West Virginia University Wikipedian in Residence Kelly Doyle authors a
great chapter on the equity gaps related to gender in Wikipedia, and how
she’s worked over the last two years to help close those through
on-campus support from the library at WVU. She talks about her work to
train librarians on campus to edit Wikipedia as well as projects to
engage students in service learning through editing Wikipedia, always
with a focus on closing the gender equity gaps on Wikipedia.
Lily Todorinova and Yu-Hung Lin offer a chapter that showcases a study
Rutgers University’s library did to measure students’ use of Wikipedia
as well as their work with the Visiting Scholars Program. Students, they
found, generally view Wikipedia as a “reliable gateway to information”,
and that a rubric would be helpful for students to assess the source
material in Wikipedia. They also felt encouraged to continue
collaborating with Wikipedia based on their experiences in the Visiting
Scholars program.
Sara Snyder’s chapter offers a good how-to for edit-a-thons, a
collaborative editing event that many university librarians are eager to
host at their institution. While Wiki Education does not support these
events, this chapter provides great guidelines for those interested.
Mairelys Lemus-Rojas and Lydia Pintscher’s chapter on Wikidata offers an
overview of the newest Wikimedia project, and one that has the potential
to be of great interest to many university librarians. Wiki Education is
in the planning stages for a pilot program next year to work with
Wikidata, and this chapter offers many helpful insights into the open
structured data repository.
In a chapter on semantic web identity, Kenning Arlitsch and Justin
Shanks write about how they engaged with Wikipedia and Wikidata to
improve the availability of information about the Montana State
University Library and two other campus groups. This chapter will be of
interest to librarians interested in their institution’s own web presence.
Finally, Merrilee Proffitt’s chapter offers an inspirational closing
statement on why all librarians should become Wikimedians, and how
welcoming and collaborative the broader community of people are who help
facilitate the relationships between Wikipedia and libraries. As someone
who’s been involved in the Wikimedia movement since 2010, I can attest
to Merrillee’s encouragement to join us: This particular intersection of
groups offers fruitful collaborations for both libraries and
Wikimedians. And my thanks to Merrilee for including my chapter about
Wiki Education’s work in the book!
The book is available from the ALA store
<https://www.alastore.ala.org/content/leveraging-wikipedia-connecting-commun…>.
Encourage your university library to add it to their collection today.
