Contributing to Wikipedia One Citation at a Time

About the Event

On Friday, Wikipedia will celebrate its 15th anniversary by launching a global campaign to engage librarians all over the world in contributing citations to its articles. As librarians, archivists, and library staff, we at UM Libraries are in an excellent position to make a valuable contribution to this global effort. Let's make Wikipedia a better reference tool by joining the #1Lib1Ref campaign!
