This mail from Amanda Rust is probably worth forwarding here too :-)
Aubrey
Hello, all--
I'm helping put together a series of Edit-a-thons at MA libraries,
archives, and museums for Open Access/Wikipedia Loves Libraries Week, and
would love your help! Together with my co-organizer Amanda Strauss
(Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe), we are encouraging MA GLAMs to join
forces for Open Access to Mass History:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Loves_Libraries/Open_Acces…
We are generally enthusiastic, but inexperienced. This is our first year
in trying to organize a series like this, and we would love to have at
least one knowledgeable Wikipedia editor at each site. (As we contacted
potential hosts, each and every one first asked about how to connect with a
Wikipedia editor, so we think there are a lot of people eager to learn the
ropes.) So if there are any folks on this list that would like to volunteer
to be the local Wikipedia expert/tutorial giver, please let me know.
We have our list of confirmed sites up on the page above, and already
have a few more in the works, so hopefully there is a time and date that
works for everyone interested.
Also, please feel free to share this widely, and let me know if you have
any suggestions on where else to publicize. And feel free to let us know if
we are doing anything wrong!
Thanks,
Amanda (R.)
