Translate-a-Thon | August 2011 How globally accessible is information about your museum? But are we now saying Wikipedia is reliable?

Wikipedia ≠ reliable source

GLAM content = reliable source WIKI “Your brilliant contributions will be made better, not worse!”

– Dr. Adrianne Wadewitz, Professor and scholar of English Literature, IU “We're doing the same thing, for the same people, for the same reason, in the same medium...

…Let's

do it
