User:Orlysi

I am Orly Simon, a wiki-librarian in soul.

I'm a Director of User Services at The National Library of Israel and a lecturer at The David Yellin College of Education in Jerusalem.

I teach the course titled: "Digital Libraries: Wikipedia, Libraries & Librarians" at the Library and Information Science Master degree program. The course encourages librarians to take a pro-active role in the partnership between libraries and Wikimedia initiatives.

On 2018 I completed the course "Wikipedia & Libraries: Better Together" (OCLC & Wikimedia Foundation).

I'm a global ambassador of #1Lib1ref and led the campaign in Israel in 2018&2019.

I'm a member of the Wikipedia & Libraries User Group steering committee since 2019.

Presentations I gave on GLAM Conference 2018:


 * NLI a home for wikipedian
 * Born Wikipedians: MLS students learn "Wiki Studies"
 * #1lib1ref@Israel
