The GLAM Wiki project is an effort to get more libraries, archives, and museums contributing to Wikipedia. I’d argue that it’s also appropriate for digital humanists! In this session, we’d learn about GLAM Wiki; and the process of becoming Wikipedia editors, for those who have never done it, and then get people signed up to start sharing information about digital humanities projects in one of the most effective ways possible, using the power of the crowd.

Let’s meet up, demo our projects, and share secrets.  Ultimately we are interested in providing baseline workflows and best practices for geospatial discovery layers for our core digital library collections that can be adapted and customized for digital research projects.  I’d like to know how other libraries are handling mapping with Neatline or other open-source tools.

For more context, see a recent Digital Humanities Questions & Answers session: digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/are-any-libraries-using-neatline.

Also, for those of you interested in issues like these, you should consider joining to the GeoHumanities ADHO special interest group: adho.org/announcements/2013/announcing-geohumanities-special-interest-group.
