Dear All,
Due to the popularity of the previous sessions we are running two
further free Wikipedia workshops in November aimed at researchers -
these sessions are open to all;
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 16th November, 14:00-15:00, British Library Conference Centre,
Eliot 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
Friday 23rd November, 14:00-16:00, British Library Conference Centre,
Eliot 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.
Thanks,
Claire
