Dear All, In September we are running two free Wikipedia workshops aimed at researchers - these sessions are open to all (details are also at http://www.bl.uk/reshelp/inrrooms/stp/workshop/workshops.html#wiki); Join Andrew Gray, the British Library's Wikipedian in Residence to find out how to engage with, and contribute to, Wikipedia. Wikipedia for Researchers Friday 7th September, 12:00-13:00, British Library Conference Centre, Chaucer Room This 1 hour bite-size talk will provide an introduction to Wikipedia and its community. Andrew will introduce ways Wikipedia can be used by researchers, as well as discussing research done using Wikipedia as a subject. Introduction to Wikipedia Monday 24th September, 14:00-16:00, British Library Conference Centre, Chaucer Room This 2 hour workshop will involve a short general introduction to the Wikipedia projects and a discussion of how they are created and developed, followed by a more in-depth practical session involving learning the basics of editing and engaging with other contributors. Please bring a laptop; there is wireless internet access, but computers are not provided. Places are free but limited, so please book your place soon to avoid disappointment by emailing [log in to unmask], specifying which of the sessions you wish to attend.
