#1Lib1Ref (abbreviation for one librarian, one reference) is an international campaign running twice per year from January 15th to February 5th and May 15th to June 5th with the aim of adding references to Wikipedia. It calls on library workers around the world, as well as anyone who has a passion for free knowledge, to add missing references to articles on Wikipedia.
