  Wikipedia Visiting Scholars  

Connecting experienced Wikipedians with academic institutions to improve Wikipedia.

Currently open positions:

• North Dakota State University
• Temple University
• University of New Mexico
• University of North Carolina
• University of San Francisco

Through the Wikipedia Visiting Scholars program, Wikipedia editors gain online access to an educational institution's library resources like databases, journals, ebooks, and special collections.

Libraries get involved because of a desire to see their collections put to good use and to make a difference in public knowledge in one or more topic areas. Wikipedians receive access to specialized and paywalled content to expand and improve articles in topic areas they already care about.
