Wikipedias y biblioteca pública. Participar en la información local digital a través de localpedias

Abstract

This paper justifies participation by public libraries in designing and publishing in localpedias as a way to promote collaboration in the creation of local content. For this purpose, the “localpedia” concept is explained and some of the main Spanish localpedia experiences described. Finally, some difficulties in consolidating this way of creating and sharing local knowledge are discussed.
