I recently received the document below from Joe Thompson from his attendance at the Webwise Conference in Baltimore. The document outlines some initiatives that OCLC has undertaken with regards to Wikipedia and includes some great links.

There was also this article recently posted to Twitter by ALA Tech Source: From Wikipedia to Libraries

Both of these (including contact information) should prove useful in moving ahead with our planned event in Chicago.
