Detailed reports
[edit]#1lib1ref
[edit]Imagine a world where every librarian has added one more reference to a Wikipedia article! '
Following the success of the friendly competition between institutions held last year as part of # 1Lib1Ref, Wikimedia Canada decided to organize a competition again this year. As a reminder, last year 6 institutions had participated in the competition and Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ) had finished first, largely thanks to the exemplary work of one of its librarians. Last year's ranking was as follows:
- BAnQ: 293 references added
- University of Montreal: 109
- McGill University: 105
- Libraries of Montreal: 68
- UQAM - University of Quebec in Montreal: 25
- Cinémathèque québécoise: 4
Once again, Wikimedia Canada has invited Canadian GLAM institutions (galleries, libraries, archives, museums and universities) to participate in this year's campaign and this year's # 1Bib1Ref / # 1Lib1Ref contest!
From Tuesday, January 15, 2019 to Tuesday, February 5, 2019, the friendly competition has gathered no less than 16 institutions. For this edition, Lela-Kim coordinated communications with the institutions and provided training for several participants. In order to maintain the count of contributions, a dashboard has been set up and Wikimedia Hashtag Search was also used. Unfortunately, no tool really allowed for automated calculation of contributions. It was important to be able to calculate the reference addition to an article and not all the modifications made by a contributor. This tool should be in place for the next edition.
Very quickly, two institutions stood out thanks to the participation of two new contributors to Wikipedia. Laval University and the National Museum of Fine Arts of Quebec (MNBAQ) quickly took the lead. The majority of participating institutions organized training and contribution sessions.
Here are the final results of this small friendly competition. Next year, we hope that more institutions (especially institutions outside Quebec) will participate.
