Description

[edit | edit source]

The Wikipedia Library is a project from Wikimedia Foundation, which provides volunteers with free access to research content from more than a hundred paywalled sources. This project runs through partnerships with publishers, where we persuade them to give access to their content for free for qualified Wikimedia editors.

This lighting talk aims to give a sense of various partnership conversations we had in the current financial year, the latest resources available in The Wikipedia Library, and our partnerships priorities for the next year.
