Wikimedia UK (the collective responsible for projects including Wikipedia,
Wiktionary, Wikiquote etc.) are working with cultural institutions
including galleries, libraries, museums and archives (GLAM’s) to improve
content and coverage of topics on Wikipedia.
Join us on this practical workshop to help you understand more about the
benefits of open knowledge in a cultural context and how to edit Wikipedia.
Under Sara’s guidance, you will have the opportunity to edit or even create
new articles on Wikipedia and gain an insight into the potential benefits
for library services of contributing directly to this massive free online
encyclopedia.
