diglib: Library collections in Wikipedia

[Sara Brownmiller <snb@uoregon.edu>]

At ALA today, I heard some people talking about adding links to their 
digital collections to articles in wikipedia.  And I think this is 
definitely something that we should pursue.

For example, there is an article on the Cayuse people.  It would be great 
to have a pointer or images from our collection.

Another example is an article on Abigail Scott Duniway.  One of our first 
Web exhibits was on Abigail Scott Duniway.  Wikipedia would be a good way 
to help people know that we have her papers

The very short Prefontaine article could link to the Athletics and the 
Academy Web site.

And I'm sure there are many other collections that would be of value as 
well.
