"Cultures, Diversity, and Inequality—Local and Global"
Rutgers University (RU) liaison librarians will participate in a project to evaluate the depth and authoritativeness of Wikipedia diversity content and identify content gaps based on the relevant Rutgers curricular; and work with Wikipedia editors to add reliable RUL licensed resources and digital content to close the identified gaps in Wikipedia articles. To that end, we will get familiar with Wikipedia editing culture and carry on this program to make our unique contributions to Wikipedia articles.
Rutgers University Art Library
For selected topics, teams will work with our Wikipedia editors to:
Narrow or refine the topic as needed
Research how well the topic is covered in Wikipedia according to the criteria of: completeness, availability of substantive peer-reviewed resources, objectivity of approach
Edit articles by addressing each of the above issues
Add one or more articles as needed for topics deserving an article that are not represented in Wikipedia.
Selected topics
Women in Jazz
Newark Jazz history
Asian immigrant experience in NJ (Chinese and Japanese, include Chinese immigration to NJ, Seabrook experience, Newark Chinatown)
