{{Crossposting excuses}} 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. Where and When: Wednesday 11th of July 2012 from 1pm-4pm.
