Panelists will include: Darold Cuba, Wikimedian in Residence and Wikimedia Fellow, Columbia University Meredith Wisner, Research & Instruction Librarian for Art & Architecture, Barnard College Sophie Leveque, Social Science and Social Work Research Support Librarian, Columbia University Libraries Moderated by Merrilee Proffitt, Senior Manager, OCLC Research
