Hello all,
You may have heard that the National Library of Scotland has been hosting a Wikimedian in Residence since July 2013; part of this programme has involved organising several Wikimedia events such as training workshops and edit-a-thons. The Wikimedian in Residence will now be running a half-day workshop on 6 June, 2014 at the University of Edinburgh's Main Library that aims to make connections with staff members from organisations interested in working with Wikimedia but who do not currently have an ambassador, Wikimedian in Residence, or committed volunteer from the Wikimedia.
The workshop will focus on how you can work with Wikimedia in ways that don't necessarily include editing (which can be a time consuming process). In particular, we will look at the different types of events that Wikimedia typically organise or support and discuss their benefits and how you might be able to incorporate them into your existing events schedule.
There will also be a brainstorming/feedback session designed to make working with Wikimedia more convenient for staff in cultural organisations. Spaces are limited so please contact [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> to reserve a space. There will be tea and coffee provided. For more details see our events page here: https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Working_with_Wikimedia_workshop,_Edinburgh
Hope to see you there!
