Since October 2023, regular meetings of the Wiki-residents of the institutions that have established this liaison officer in their institution have been in full swing. The topic of the wiki-residency was also discussed during the Evening of Free Culture, which took place on Friday 19 January 2024 at the Hybernská Campus. The guests present from the National Library of the Czech Republic, the State Regional Archive, the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and the Library of East Bohemia in Hradec Králové confirmed that the interest in cooperation and establishing a position on both sides is important. The experience with the wiki-residency and the working conditions of the Wikipedians cooperating with the institutions will be discussed by the Manager of Programmes for Partnerships Pavel Bednařík and the wiki-resident Dora Rodriguez (National Library of the Czech Republic) also at the XXII Seminar of Libraries of Memory Institutions of the Zlín Region in Rožnov pod Radhoštěm on Wednesday 14 February. The presentation entitled Have you got your wiki-resident yet? is intended to motivate the library representatives to present to join the program and involve their wiki-resident in the work on Wikipedia and other projects.
Do you already have a wiki-resident?
