Wikipedia Guide & Curriculum

Abstract

This guide is designed to help “demystify” Wikipedia and help information professionals understand how to edit and utilize Wikipedia as a tool of outreach, equity, and resource sharing. This guide looks to Wikipedia as an opportunity for public outreach, and for increasing discoverability of knowledge by sharing digitized collections on Wikipedia. These approaches create a more rich, reliable, and diverse reference work, while also increasing public access and interaction with institutional collections everywhere.
