We are not alone...The secrets of local GLAM outreach
Slides from the "Local GLAM outreach" session
Amongst the other interesting sessions of the GLAM track at Wikimania, Lars Alvik, Wikipedian in Residence at the National Library of Norway, Axel Pettersson, project leader GLAM outreach in Sweden, longtime GLAM-volunteer Raymond and WMDE held a shared talk about how to connect Wikipedia contributors and local cultural heritage institutions on a sustainable level. Main conclusions: A shared understanding about the goals of cooperations for GLAMs and the volunteers, well defined roles of the GLAMs and Wikimedia and the effort to make the staff get Wikipedians themselves are essential to create a succesful local GLAM-event.
