Hi Code4Lib! The Wikipedia Library is an open research project run at the Wikimedia Foundation, a program to aid active Wikipedia editors in gaining access to the vital reliable sources that they need to do their work and to be supported in using those resources to improve the encyclopedia. As part of reaching this goal, we facilitate research access through partnerships with various publishers for access to their databases. The *Wikipedia Library Card Platform* is our central tool for reviewing applications and providing access to those publisher resources ( https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/). We are looking forward to implementing additional features in this platform, including proxy-based resource access and a discovery tool. We invite all interested candidates to apply to *consult on and help implement the design of the front-end of the Wikipedia Library Card Platform*. This is a paid, remote position with flexible scheduling of approximately 5 hours per week from July 2018 through June 2019. The ideal candidate will be familiar with Python/Django, Javascript, and CSS, with background knowledge of accessibility and UX/UI, as well as comfort with a continuous integration environment. To apply, please complete this Google form by June 1, 2018: https://goo.gl/forms/0yxSYUMdOurrerI23 The Wikipedia Library values diversity and encourages applicants from all backgrounds to apply. We give all candidates equal opportunity regardless of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, or genetic information. We look forward to hearing more about you! Cheers, Jake Orlowitz, and the Wikipedia Library Team http://wikipedialibrary.org [log in to unmask]
