Are you a Wiki enabled library? If not why not? #ifla2022 #WLICWOW #indigenouslanguages #indigenousmatters

[IFLA Section Indigenous Matters @ifla_im]

Most information from Google or Alexia is sourced from Wikipedia, so library's need to contribute more to this information sharing, and also promoting their collections #indigenousmatters #WLICWOW #ifla2022

[IFLA Section Indigenous Matters @ifla_im]

310 wikipedia languages... 22 billion views a month, with a bias to English language and gender bias... the Welsh are the exception. Ngā mihi Wales, well done Wales.
