Taking the Department to the People: Editing Wikipedia to Help Ensure Equitable Access to USDA National Agricultural Library Resources and Collections

The USDA NAL has had a Wikipedian-in-Residence for five years who helps facilitate Wikipedia editing among employees and public participants using USDA, NAL, and other partners' collections, research, and digital content to update, edit, and write Wikipedia articles about research and other topics related to equity. During this presentation, there will be an overview of NAL’s Wikipedia program, what events look like and topics that have been covered, and the impact so far.
