"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.

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.
This article is within the scope of GLAM/Rutgers University Libraries, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of RUL on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.RULWikipedia:GLAM/RutgersTemplate:WikiProject RULRUL
