UAL Wikipedia Engagement Survey
From February to August 2020, the University of Alberta Library (UAL) is hosting a Wikipedian in Residence program. The program has several aims:
- Improve the visibility and discovery of the University of Alberta Libraries’ unique and rich digital collections through greater integration with the Wikipedia platform
- Create opportunities for rich interactive learning experiences for students and faculty through the new Digital Scholarship Centre
- Improve UAL’s understanding of the role of large collaborative platforms like Wikipedia can play in improving users’ access to our collections
Throughout summer 2020, the UAL Wikipedian in Residence will be coordinating both educational opportunities and collaborative editing projects. This survey is designed for anyone in the University of Alberta or the Edmonton community to help shape the programming offered by the Wikipedian in Residence throughout the summer.
This survey is anonymous. Thank you for your time and feedback!
