Art + Feminism is a global initiative made up of “students,
librarians, professors, artists, art workers, and art lovers” who
meaningfully enhance “the body of knowledge available about feminism
and the arts on Wikipedia” (http://www.artandfeminism.org/). MIT
libraries and community are a part of this project, and this year we
are hosting an Art + Feminism Event on Saturday March 11, 2017, from
11am-4pm.
Our theme focuses on the art of comics, graphic novels, and zines, but
participants are welcome to work on any topic related to Art +
Feminism. No experience editing Wikipedia is required -- we will offer
Wikipedia training, and experienced Wikipedians will be on-hand for
one-on-one help. The event will also feature hands-on creative
activities, including zine making and basic cartooning. Everyone is
welcome, and food will also be provided.

Hope to see you there!

Hi all,
Want to help a bunch of librarians and library school students learn
how to edit Wikipedia? I'm recruiting for a couple of experienced
editors to help out with an editathon at Simmons Thurs, 2/23, from
6-8pm. It's a referencing event, focused on adding references to
articles, and we will help new editors get started and answer
questions.
Interested? Let me know and I'll send you the details.
Thanks!
Phoebe
