Bettina,

The Cambridge Public Library in Massachusetts hosted an event for librarians and archivists to learn to edit Wikipedia in November 2012. Not sure if there was related documentation, but the names of the organizers can be found here: http://cambridgelibraryfriends.blogspot.com/2012/11/who-hearts-libraries.html

Subject: [libraries] Wikipedia classes in the Public Library setting

Hello -

Is anyone else using classroom space in their local public library to teach editing skills/as part of the library's computer class offerings? I'd love to hear your experiences.

Here's what's going on in Michigan this summer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/West_Michigan#2013

Also, has anyone developed a good core curriculum to teach the librarians how to help their patrons use Wikipedia?

Thanks for the input.

Cheers,

Bettina
