Sešlo se nás tady „jako obvykle“ velké množství a právě tradice hojné návštěvnosti svědčí o stálé potřebě se spolu potkávat, sdílet a povídat si; pravidelně jednou do roka se těšit na konferenci, která se pomalu stává téměř nezbytnou součástí knihovního a knihovnického života. Tím bych volně navázal na témata letošní konference, která se v zásadě dají souhrnně pojmenovat „Bezpečná knihovna jako součást každodenního života“ – tedy místo pro každého z nás, pro všechny příležitosti a vlastně v každou denní dobu. Knihovna otevřená, pevná kulturní, společenská a vzdělávací – integrální součást obce. Obce bez ohledu na velikost a počet obyvatel, protože jsme držitelem čestného prvenství v počtu knihoven na světě. Česká republika má nejhustší síť knihoven na světě, které nezůstaly institucí minulosti, naopak nabízí stále pestřejší škálu služeb. A tyto knihovny spolu navzájem komunikují a budují pevnou informační síť a interaktivní spolupráci. Je to dlouhodobá práce, není to jednoduché. Koncepce rozvoje knihoven je velkým tématem, které konferenci završí. A já doufám, že letošní motto „Vidíme to růžově“ je očekáváným závěrem letošních přednášek a workshopů a začátkem další práce v knihovnách. Vážení účastníci a milí hosté letošní konference, děkuji vám, že svou přítomností ukazujete, jak důležité a přínosné naše vzájemné setkání je. Dovolte prosím, abych poděkoval i těm, kteří se na přípravě aktivně podíleli, a přeji nám všem užitečně i pohodlně strávený čas ve společnosti kolegů a přátel. RNDr. Tomáš Řehák Předseda Sdružení knihoven ČR 8 Jak to vidí jinde Úvodní slovo k sekci „Jak to vidí jinde“ Napsala: Inga Lundén, Stockholm, Švédsko V září 2016 mě pozvalo Sdružení knihoven České republiky, abych na výročním setkání v Olomouci představila některé plány týkající se budoucnosti knihoven. O pár dní později jsem se seznámila se zaměstnanci Městské knihovny v Praze, která je přístupná veřejnosti. Následující článek vychází z těchto rozhovorů. Důvěra v téměř všechny instituce klesá. Výjimku představují veřejné knihovny, alespoň podle jedné švédské studie. Důvěra lidí v knihovny se opírá o soubor trvalých a obecně platných hodnot, jejichž podstatou je prosazování svobodného přístupu k informacím pro všechny. Dnes jej nazýváme spíše „veřejným zájmem“ nebo „významem pro společnost.“ Zachovat tento význam v rychle se vyvíjejícím světě je pro přežití veřejných knihoven, které jsou financovány z daní, zcela klíčové. Tento článek poukazuje na dva naprosto odlišné a velice důležité typy knihoven. Do budoucnosti to vede k novému cíli ze strany Mezinárodní federace knihovnických sdružení IFLA, jež usiluje o

  • For the Field
    For the Field Of the People, For the People: Exploring Wikipedia as a Site for Community Building Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the need for equal access to factual information about the virus. Free and open sources of information are increasingly important in our digital age. Although Wikipedia has often been touted as an unreliable source in the academic context, it can provide a great starting place for those interested in researching a given topic. Additionally, due to its inherently collaborative structure, this could be a site to help build community or extend an existing community, from the physical into the digital. Through a brief examination of the player/editor created and maintained Nukapedia, a wiki-site hosted by Fandom.com and dedicated to the videogame Fallout 4, I will demonstrate that a community can be formed even through asynchronous editing projects. I have experienced the power of this game in building community as a long-time fan of this series who has played through three of its titles: Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 3, and Fallout 4. My long-time partner and I even had out first “official date” on the midnight release of Fallout 4 at our local EB Games. Although I am not an especially talented videogame player, I do enjoy the storylines and aesthetic of its fictional world. These collaborative projects based on collecting, organizing, and sharing knowledge can be employed by library professionals for community programming. As mentioned by Snyder in Edit-a-thons and Beyond (2018), organizing “edit-a-thon Emerging Library & Information Perspectives 1 events” can be a way to meet institutional goals and even engage with new patrons.

Dezember 2020 Pressemitteilung Wikipedia wird 20 Aktivitäten rund um den Enzyklopädie-Geburtstag am 15. Jänner mit Österreich-Bezug Die Online-Enzyklopädie Wikipedia feiert am 15. Jänner 2021 einen runden Geburtstag. An diesem Tag vor zwanzig Jahren ging die englische Sprachversion online, die deutsche folgte bereits am 16. März 2001. Seitdem wurden fast 52 Millionen Wikipedia-Artikel veröffentlicht und der freie Zugang zu Wissen revolutioniert. In Österreich wird das Jubiläumsjahr mit einer Reihe von Aktivitäten begangen. Während der deutschsprachige Wikipedia-Artikel zur COVID-19-Pandemie inzwischen weit über 5,3 Millionen Seitenaufrufe verzeichnet, setzt die Online-Enzyklopädie bei ihren Feierlichkeiten auf einen Remote-Zugang. Die Wikipedia-Aktiven beschenken sich gegenseitig bei einem Engerl-Bengerl-Spiel. Dabei dürfen sie sich bestimmte neue oder überarbeitete Wikipedia-Artikel wünschen und erfahren am 15. Jänner, wer den Wunsch erfüllt hat – vorausgesetzt eigener Wikipedia-Beiträge für jemand anders. Auch ohne jede aktive Wikipedia-Erfahrung lässt es sich am 15. Jänner ab 17 Uhr mitteleuropäischer Zeit bei einem globalen YouTube-Livestream mitfeiern, bei dem Wikipedia-Gründer Jimmy Wales die letzten zwanzig Jahre Revue passieren lässt und einen Blick in die Zukunft wagt. Eine virtuelle Ausstellung der Deutschen Digitalen Bibliothek, die am 16. März veröffentlicht wird, versammelt zwanzig Objekte aus der Wikipedia-Geschichte in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz und dazugehörige persönliche Geschichten.

  • Blind Trust Is Not Enough”: Considering Practical Verifiability and Open Referencing in Wikipedia
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Journal of Critical Library and Information Studies Perspective “Blind Trust is Not Enough”: Considering Practical Verifiability and Open Referencing in Wikipedia Cal Murgu and Krisandra Ivings ABSTRACT This article draws attention to the often-unseen information inequalities that occur in the way that Wikipedia content is referenced. Drawing on digital information control and virtual gatekeeping scholarship, we contend that by not considering the degree to which references are practically accessible and verifiable, Wikipedia editors are implicitly promoting a control mechanism that is limiting the potential of Wikipedia to serve, as Willinsky puts it, “as a gateway to a larger world of knowledge.” We question the widespread practice of referencing peer-reviewed literature that is obscured by prohibitive paywalls. As we see it, two groups are disadvantaged by this practice. First, Wikipedia editors who lack access to the most current scholarly literature are unable to verify a reference or confirm the veracity of a fact or figure. Second, and perhaps most important, general readers are left with two unsatisfactory options in this scenario: they can either trust the authority of the citation or pay to access the article. Building on Don Fallis’ work on epistemic consequences of Wikipedia, this paper contends that promoting practically verifiable references would work to mitigate these inequalities and considers how relatively new initiatives could be used to improve the quality and utility of Wikipedia more generally. Murgu, Cal and Krisandra Ivings. “’Blind Trust is Not Enough’: Considering Practical Verifiability and Open Referencing in Wikipedia,” in “Information/Control: Control in the Age of Post-Truth,” eds.

CC-BY-SA. I am a librarian, and a Wikipedia editor. One identity is professional, the other a late-night hobby, but they are two approaches to the same goal: sharing knowledge with the world. Wikipedia and libraries have similar aspirations and goals. They both exist to help people who are looking for information, and they both help curate our society’s memory and community. And despite their different cultures and Wikipedia’s upstart nature, today there are hundreds of collaborations between librarians and Wikipedians to build the future of open knowledge. In the areas in which libraries and librarians have participated in Wikipedia, I see three overriding themes that relate to the future of Wikipedia: quality, inclusiveness, and sustainability. In each of these areas, both institutions and individual librarians have already done tremendous work and have a future role to play. It is not a one-way street, either: the aspirations, idealistic values and joy of the Wikipedia project can also help make the ancient profession of librarianship better, even as we critique and improve Wikipedia. My story is about building the future of the world’s greatest reference work. It is about libraries and Wikipedia, and what it is like to be an author of an encyclopedia, and about being part of a community, and those three things are, for me, inseparable.

  • Simple Annual Plan Grant
    Simple Annual Plan Grant Wikimedia Australia 2020-21 Final report Program story Contracting an inaugural Wikimedia Australia Executive Officer Executive Officer Caddie Brain After nearly 13 years operating with only a volunteer committee, 2020-21 saw a significant milestone for the Wikimedia movement in Australia with the contracting of WMAU’s first staff member, a Community Support and Outreach Coordinator. In order to grow, increase partnerships and professionalise its operations, WMAU required additional support to coordinate its community development and outreach work. Since the chapter was established in 2007, the small managing committee has carried responsibility for governance, community engagement activities and communications. While successful to this point, the committee had reached the limit of its ability to continue to grow operations on an entirely volunteer basis. The Community Support and Outreach Coordinator role was a three-month short-term contract position approximately 15 hours per week that managed communications, volunteer engagement and development, and general administration for the WMAU committee and wider community. At the midterm review of progress against the WMAU Annual Plan 2020-21, there were many identified activities within the budget that could not proceed due to COVID-19 pandemic-related travel restrictions. WMAU reallocated AUD$10,000 to establish the Community Support and Outreach Coordinator. This pilot funding enabled both the committee and the coordinator to establish working arrangements and informed WMAU’s annual plan and budget for 2021-22. WMAU contracted experienced Wikimedian Caddie Brain, who is well- recognised in the community and familiar with Wikimedia Australia events and operations, to establish the duties and procedures within the interim role.

Wikipedia has been criticized for the uneven handling, acceptance, and retention of articles about controversial subjects. The principal concerns of the critics are the factual reliability of the content; the readability of the prose; and a clear article layout; the existence of systemic bias; of gender bias; and of racial bias among the editorial community that is Wikipedia. Further concerns are that the organization allows the participation of anonymous editors (leading to editorial vandalism); the existence of social stratification (allowing cliques); and over-complicated rules (allowing editorial quarrels), which conditions permit the misuse of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is described as unreliable at times.

  • A Taxonomy of Knowledge Gaps for Wikimedia Projects (Second Draft)
    A Taxonomy of Knowledge Gaps for Wikimedia Projects (Second Draft) MIRIAM REDI, Wikimedia Foundation MARTIN GERLACH, Wikimedia Foundation ISAAC JOHNSON, Wikimedia Foundation JONATHAN MORGAN, Wikimedia Foundation LEILA ZIA, Wikimedia Foundation arXiv:2008.12314v2 [cs.CY] 29 Jan 2021 2 Miriam Redi, Martin Gerlach, Isaac Johnson, Jonathan Morgan, and Leila Zia EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In January 2019, prompted by the Wikimedia Movement’s 2030 strategic direction [108], the Research team at the Wikimedia Foundation1 identified the need to develop a knowledge gaps index—a composite index to support the decision makers across the Wikimedia movement by providing: a framework to encourage structured and targeted brainstorming discussions; data on the state of the knowledge gaps across the Wikimedia projects that can inform decision making and assist with measuring the long term impact of large scale initiatives in the Movement. After its first release in July 2020, the Research team has developed the second complete draft of a taxonomy of knowledge gaps for the Wikimedia projects, as the first step towards building the knowledge gap index. We studied more than 250 references by scholars, researchers, practi- tioners, community members and affiliates—exposing evidence of knowledge gaps in readership, contributorship, and content of Wikimedia projects. We elaborated the findings and compiled the taxonomy of knowledge gaps in this paper, where we describe, group and classify knowledge gaps into a structured framework. The taxonomy that you will learn more about in the rest of this work will serve as a basis to operationalize and quantify knowledge equity, one of the two 2030 strategic directions, through the knowledge gaps index.
