Details

[edit]

As part of this year’s #1Lib1Ref campaign, we invite our library colleagues both on and off campus to join us on January 31 in an effort to improve Wikipedia.

  • Share your knowledge
  • Add references to existing pages
  • Build new entries, or
  • Locate open access versions of sources.

Our working theme will be topics and entries related to underrepresented groups, as those have the greatest need, but you are welcome to work on anything you’d like to. Event leaders will be there to help new editors get started, and will share our own best practices document.

Come at any time, but please bring your own device and chargers.
