- Nemo - cool! - Marie - that is fantastic, best of luck. I am sad to learn about the Canadian copyright issues. But I am very glad to learn about any initiatives involving Wikipedia editing and library & information science schools - we need much more of this! - Kerry - thanks for all the good advice, good for any event. I have run many editathons, but usually I pick a somewhat looser topic that is easier to find a variety of articles to work with. Side note: I would like to challenge our community to host more editing events that *don't* involve writing biographies - though they are easy to start with, there is so much more to do! All of your advice about Wikiprojects is good for this. - Bob - it sounds like we need a jazz project! I was thinking of at the very least playing 1923 jazz during the event :)
Any other public domain related events or ideas? PS: here are the books we digitized in honor of the day: https://archive.org/details/mitlibrariespublicdomain
best, Phoebe
