The 'Wiki Loves Bieb' project, initiated in January 2010, aims to foster collaboration between Wikimedia Netherlands and Dutch public libraries to enhance the use of Wikipedia in educational and cultural contexts. It focuses on three main themes: media literacy, cultural heritage, and the role of digital libraries, with initiatives including workshops for teachers and local heritage institutions. The project's long-term effects include strengthening relationships among libraries and schools, improving the visibility of library collections, and increasing the quality of Wikipedia contributions.

- 1. ‘ Wiki Loves Bieb’ The power of collaboration between libraries and Wikimedia Karolien Selhorst Internet Librarian International 2010
- 2. Wiki Loves Bieb: what? Goal: a project that aims to set up a structural collaboration between Wikimedia Netherlands and the sector of Dutch public libraries. Partners: the Association Wikimedia Nederland, the Dutch Association of Public Libraries (VOB) and the public library of Vlissingen. Start: January 2010; end: January 2011.
- 3. Wiki Loves Bieb: why? Few online resources provoke as much controversy in the library community as Wikipedia. Some librarians hate it and say it cannot be trusted. Others love it, because it is fast, easy to use, and a good starting point for reference work. Consequently, there is no clear understanding amongst librarians about what to do with this popular virtual encyclopedia. In order to overcome these prejudices, ‘Wiki loves Bieb’ has been launched.
- 4. Wiki Loves Bieb: focus The project focuses on three themes: media literacy or the use of Wikipedia in education; cultural heritage or how libraries and other local heritage partners can improve the quality of the information in Wikipedia and how they can add collections; the digital library or the library as reference point in Wikipedia.
- 5. Theme 1: Media literacy Project results: workshops/information meetings for secondary school teachers about Wikipedia; guest lectures for secondary school pupils about the use of Wikipedia; post project workshops for ‘mediacoaches’ on how to work with the project products.
- 6. Theme 2: Cultural heritage Projects results: a high quality Wikipedia article on Vlissingen (made with local partners and people in Vlissingen); information meetings for local heritage institutions about how they can make their collections visible on Wikipedia; research report on how library collections can be made visible in Wikipedia.
- 7. Theme 3: The digital library as reference point in Wikipedia Project results: Research report on the public library as virtual reference point in Wikipedia An alternative to Al@din?
- 8. Wiki Loves Bieb: how? In order to reach the project goals, a pilot project has been set up in the public library of Vlissingen during which the project products will be developed that all Dutch public libraries can use in het future. Limitation: public libraries should be able to adopt the project products and use them in their own local context.
