Summary: Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and
the Wiki-community can offer
added value for KB, NA and our users!
Let’s collaborate!
(“set up a GLAM-wiki partnership”)
Page 40
But we had a lot of questions!
• How does Wikipedia work?
• How do we get our content on Wikipedia?
• How do we collaborate with the Wiki-community?
We could use some help!!

“Upload sets of freely licensed or rights free images from your collection to Wikimedia Commons”
Some reasons 1. Expose content hidden away in your own site 2. Enable reuse on Wikipedia 3. Reach new audiences, also outside Wikipedia 4. Improve object presentation (case study KB)
5. Measure impact (glamorous, baglama)
4. Do image donations

So: a lot of – mainly unconnected - information is

At the same time, only 14 of these 1300 newspapers are described on WP:NL

The Wikiproject Verzetskranten will change this!
Systematically and uniformly describe & interlink all 1.300 Dutch underground newspapers from
WW2 on Wikipedia

1. Library catalogue (metadata)
2. Delpher (full-texts)
3. Book (context & interlinks)

They are faced with changing tasks
Lending books
• Access to (online) information
• Personal development
• Arts & culture
• Be part of knowlegde networks
Local history clubs

Since 1-1-2015 KB has central role in facilitating the network of Dutch public libraries (Wsob)
“Using our Wiki-experience, lets see if we can facilitate willing public libraries to
find out if and how they can collaborate with the Wikimedia knowlegde network”
Page 84
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ec/Amsterdam_-_Openbare_Bibliotheek_-_0038.jpg CC-BY-SA
Two aims
1. Contribute local knowlegde to WP via library’s network & collections
2. Make it easy for WP-consumers to find & use those sources
Current status
• Strong interest from: Amsterdam, Arnhem, Amersfoort, Oosterhout
• Hands-on local projects in Q1-2 2016 (photos)
