Throughout 2014, volunteers from Wikimedia Australia held a series of "Wikipedia and Libraries" presentations across the country to ALIA members. Approximately 280 people attended the sessions, with live tweets from some of the talks made under the #aliawikip Twitter hashtag.
Wikimedians also presented at the 14th National Libraries and Information Association (ALIA) Conference in Melbourne.
In 2015 the partnership extended with editathon workshops run by professional librarians from the State Library of NSW who were also experienced Wikipedians.
