This document outlines a presentation given by Carme Fenoll and Àlex Hinojo at the British Library in London in April 2013 about collaborating with public libraries to engage institutional staff. It discusses projects like having a Wikipedian in Residence, teaching librarians how to edit Wikipedia, establishing an early users workgroup, highlighting pioneering women librarians, organizing wiki reading clubs, and sharing search engines. It concludes that both public libraries and Wikipedia have social importance, that the collaboration can be mind-changing, and provides an opportunity to interact with other cultural heritage organizations through small, scalable and self-sustaining projects.
