Goals edit
Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went?
Yes, we meet our goals and we are happy with how the project went, The project went smoothly and successfully. We hosted 2 Edit-a-thons and had new editors and existing editors. The librarians were so eager to learn and explore the various Wikimedia products to promote open access to information for quality service delivery. The facilitators were very helpful in providing them with the answers to their questions and guiding them through the editing process as they followed up with new editors between sessions and helped monitor the articles they worked on.

Learning edit
Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:
- What worked well?
The librarians were very excited and enthusiastic to participate in the Wikipedia Awareness and there was great turn-up.
- What did not work so well?
It took longer than we expected for new editors to learn the basic skills to create new articles, so we focused our efforts on helping them add reliable sources, and hyperlinks to existing articles as well as improving existing Wikidata Items.
- What would you do differently next time?
We will consider organizing more online training to coach the new editors.
