Lia-- we’re going to say hi, talk about some awesome projects; and then have actual hands on time; we’ll have time for Q&A and comments throughout
Who we are, the different types of institutions we are at; how/when with wikipedia; how we know each other; cynthia wikipedia story
Lia-- Putting things in context; why we’re talking about; background; issues with wikipedia
Discuss the makeup of wikipedia. How we know that so many of our users start there (including us!) How some institutions frown on using it, and how these methods can help change peoples minds about ‘authority’ and the research cycle.
Cynthia - you can download article as PDF, and contributors are listed. Could be added to tenure dossier because it is scholarship.
Gayatri-- University of Regina, Canada, Art + Feminism editathon in March 2016. as part of the Wikipedia process, new articles/stubs get reviewed. Due to the nature of the people we’re trying to highlight in the edit-a-thons, sometimes wikipedia editors are a little excessive in their definition of notability. That’s where libraries can come into play-- use our collections, and help cite sources.
Lia -- Give examples of those who are teaching with wikipedia in embedded or one shot ways ie Heidi
Lia -- Info literacy threshold concept-- Authority Is Constructed and Contextual
Great way to partner up with a class to have students do online modules to learn how to edit wikipedia, and add content that might be connected to something they are already learning in their classes. Adds structure, and scaffolds finding content, and learning.
Gayatri --the dashboard provided through Wiki Edu makes it easy to keep track of not only edits/new pages, but also impact of work (article views)
Gaytari-- So the bulk of this preso is going to be explaining how to put one of these on, the challenges, pitfalls, benefits etc. This is a great way for us to work with faculty and the community, and also students, to talk about bias, authority, and the research cycle--its not just writing a final paper that disappears into the ether, it can be about being a part of creating and strengthening information.
Figure out what community need; find ways to collaborate; space; food; outreach; networking with other library
Cynthia-- how it started/smithsonian; networking; communities ;
International Event, countries like China, Hong Kong, Japan participated
All of us held events for WikiAPA too at our respective institutions
Cynthia-- How it began...
Cynthia examples:; were there differences between first/second events? Co learning environment;
Lia examples: faculty/staff collaboration;

Gayatri ; baby steps; train the trainer; room/food;
Random “citation needed” generator; add screenshot

Booked a classroom and emailed all library staff to participate.

Lia These don’t have to be aligned with these national or international events. Make them your own, think about what is important to your community. Figure out how embedded you can be in a class to scale a project like this.
