[edit]Please join us at Walsh Library on November 2, 2016 for the Fordham at 175 Wikipedia Editathon! In honor of Fordham’s Dodransbicentennial Celebration, the general topic for the Edit-a-Thon will be the history of Fordham. But in keeping with the spirit of the Edit-a-Thon movement, we would like to take this opportunity to enrich Wikipedia with edits and articles about underrepresented groups and events in Fordham history. Along the way, we will learn a lot about how to evaluate content in Wikipedia, how Wikipedia works, and best practices for contributing to the world’s largest crowd-sourced encyclopedia.
All skill levels are welcome -- orientation and training will be provided for beginners, and plenty of computers will be available for use. Don’t know much about Fordham’s history? Don’t let that stop you from participating--Fordham librarians will be on hand to help participants navigate print and electronic reference sources that can be used when updating and adding Fordham-related content in Wikipedia.
Snacks and refreshments will be provided. We look forward to seeing you there!
Questions? Please contact tmendenhallfordham.edu for more info.
