Many of the Wikipedia Library's resources are currently unavailable. I use them often and tend to take them for granted. But they are not.

Call for #wikipedians using The #WikipediaLibrary : have you ever found a source in the #InternetArchiveBooks you can't use or read simply because you have not a complete access to all pages? I'm having this experience today, it's annoying. WHY we as volunteers still not have full access to these resources of @internetarchive ? BECAUSE there is a suggestion to include it in the list of partners still not approuved. If you care about such a relevant partner, please support the suggestion.

Un chapitre du livre "Professional Historians in Public" présente un projet pédagogique mené par une université sur la #Wikipédia lusophone. Les wikimédiens ont accès à l'ouvrage via la Bibliothèque Wikipédia. #WikipediaLibrary https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783111186047/html

Still have mixed feeling about #WikipediaLibrary. It enables me accessing paywalled journals/books legally. But does it discourage people to use more open access resources?
Anyway as long as the end products (wikipedia articles etc) is open and free it's still a win I guess.

#WikipediaLibrary j'ai fait 2 suggestions :
- obtenir l'intégralité du #Monde via #ProQuest (manque actuellement 1944-2000)
- #ScholarVox, un site de livres universitaires en français (les bouquins sont le point faible de la bibliothèque) -
@theresnotime I use Oxford Art Online to add references to #wikidata :wikidata: a lot. Also JSTOR and various journals. #WikipediaLibrary rocks.

It turns out they were the twins Miss Bessie Donovan https://wikidata.org/wiki/Q122346973 & Mrs Grace Ellen Lucas https://wikidata.org/wiki/Q122348827. I found information on them in JSTOR (access provided by the Wikipedia Library) as well as via a search of the Biodiversity Heritage Library. #BHL #WikipediaLibrary #Wikidata

@thisismyglasgow Down the rabbit hole from West George St! Your photo and text on #verdigris led me off into fascinating articles on "Verdigris and the Entrepreneuse" about the women-organised industry and international trade based in 18th century Montpellier. ( Access thanks to #wikipedialibrary )

They doused copper strips in strong red wine, left to ferment, then the crystals were scraped off and pulverised. ( Journal access thanks to #wikipedialibrary , always a useful resource )

@JakeOrlowitz hi Jake, thanks for following. I am quite interested to learn about about #WikipediaLibrary & related. It is new to me, but right up my alley, as I formerly worked in scholarly/professional publishing, am librarian by study and former work and inclination, run #HousingWiki, and constantly access or try to access paywalled sources. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library
