Calling all librarians! This message and link was posted on our ANZTLA Forum today and I thought it was worth sharing with the Koha Forum. Pass it on to any other librarians / library groups who might be interested.

To celebrate, the Wikipedia community are asking "every librarian on earth", whatever their discipline, to add at least one citation to a currently uncited fact. Doing so will not be onerous (we are told here) it’s the sort of simple task that can be completed "over a cup of coffee". Maybe two coffees. Maybe three?
