The '''Westchester Library System''' is hosting a meeting for librarians to participate in the Wikipedia '''[[meta:The Wikipedia Library/1Lib1Ref|#1Lib1Ref]]''' (one librarian, one reference!) campaign. This is a private event for librarians of the library system, and attendance is by invitation only.

==About==
We are getting ready for Wikipedia's '''[[:meta:The Wikipedia Library/1Lib1Ref|#1Lib1Ref]]''' campaign. Last year we made a big impact with our call to “Imagine a World where Every Librarian Adds One More Reference to Wikipedia.” Westchester Library System is participating in the event on Wednesday, January 18, 2016 from 9:30 – 11:00 pm. We want your help!

Wikipedia’s strength is in its references, which is the source of Wikipedia's reliability. #1Lib1Ref is the library community coming together to give us a most precious gift: a citation. We hope the experience of #1Lib1Ref can provide tools and experience to help librarians critically integrate Wikipedia into the broader research and information literacy landscape. We are doing the coffee hour!
