(Introduction) is... (description)

Strong connections have been identified between library and information science institutions and what Wikimedia projects do. The African Library and Information Associations and Institutions (AfLIA) understands this and, with funding support from the Wikimedia Foundation, has run the Wikipedia in African Libraries course (2020) which was an adaptation of OCLC’s Wikipedia + Libraries: Better Together! curriculum. AfLIA has also introduced African librarians to Wikidata through Promoting Open Knowledge practices in African Libraries through WikiData course (2022). Since 2020, the organisation has also been driving the African Librarians Week, an annual campaign which rallies African Librarians to make contributions to Wikimedia projects, in keeping with the annual global #1Lib1Ref campaign..
