Hello Everybody,****
The buzz is almost palpable, the Wikipedia Loves Libraries (WLL) event at
Wikimania preconference is now scheduled.****
** **
*What it is:*
We have planned riveting presentations form both the Wikipedian and
Librarians perspectives on the history of WLL, followed by a discussion and
strategy meeting for the future of the program. The first half and hour
will be a Workshop for Librarians titled: *Behind The Secret Door:
Wikipedia Information Literacy for Librarians*****
* *
*Abstract: *
Librarians are domain experts in classic information literacy, and much of
that expertise can be applied to Wikipedia if only one knows where to
click. Without even learning how to edit, there are a plethora of useful
tools built into - and onto - Wikipedia that can help you understand more
about the articles. With this workshop you will learn to view and
understand: the complete revision history of an article, the discussion
taking place on the content, the quality rating of an article, the
viewership statistics, which other articles link to it, and Wikipedia's
category system. Plus you'll have the opportunity to ask questions in a
supportive environment.****
