The gamma-ray survey of the sky by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope offers both opportunities and challenges for multiwavelength and multi-messenger studies. Gamma-ray bursts, pulsars, binary sources, flaring Active Galactic Nuclei, and Galactic transient sources are all phenomena that can best be studied with a wide variety of instruments simultaneously or contemporaneously. Identification of newly-discovered gamma-ray sources is largely a multiwavelength effort. From the gamma-ray side, a principal challenge is the latency from the time of an astrophysical event to the recognition of this event in the data. Obtaining quick and complete multiwavelength coverage of gamma-ray sources can be difficult both in terms of logistics and in terms of generating scientific interest. The Fermi LAT team continues to welcome cooperative efforts aimed at maximizing the scientific return from the mission through multiwavelength studies.
