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
