We are privileged to have the support of our special collections partners as well as the Emory Center for Digital Scholarship and the Center for Faculty Development and Excellence. Through these initiatives, the Emory Libraries Wikipedia Group aims to bring awareness to the Emory community of the various ways that academia and Wikipedia are intertwined and how we can be partners in learning and information-sharing. Faculty will learn new pedagogical approaches, students will have opportunities to exercise their research and writing skills, and Emory Libraries will make its special collections contents more accessible.
