  Edit-a-thon

The University of Michigan Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) group and Association for Women in Science and the Bentley Historical Library are co-hosting the “Women in Science Edit-a-thon at UM.”

The goal of the Women in Science Edit-a-thon at UM will be to:

• Create pages for women scientists who do not currently have their own dedicated page with emphasis of highlighting UM women scientists,
• Improve citations and supplement pages that currently exist but are sparse, and
• Identify opportunities to create links that make women scientists’ profiles more accessible.

We want to emphasize that no subject knowledge or Wikipedia editing experience is necessary! For those who are new to Wikipedia, we will have an introductory workshop that will teach the basics of creating new articles and editing existing Wikipedia articles. Attendees will also have the opportunity to explore and learn more about the Bentley Historical Library.

Details

WHEN: March 11, 2017 from 10:00AM-12:30PM. While we have an official start and end time, we encourage anyone who is interested in participating to come when you are free and stay for as long as you like!

WHERE: Bentley Historical Library on the University of Michigan campus. Free parking is available right outside the building.

WHO: We welcome anyone to participate with us!

• Experienced or new Wikipedians (We will provide assistance with Wikipedia formatting and syntax.)
• Scientists and non-scientists! (The Bentley Historical Library will help provide resources to assist with your research.)
• UM faculty, staff, and students.

• While there will be computers available, we encourage you to bring your own laptop! If you have not connected to the UM wireless network before, volunteers will be available to help you set your computer up.

WILL THERE BE FOOD?: Yes! UM WISE has generously provided financial support to provide food and refreshments for the event which will include brunch from Afternoon Delight!
