Hi all, 

Just sending a reminder about this event, which is this week! Please do register if you plan to come, so that we know about food. Also, note that we adjusted the time upwards a bit as we need to leave at 6:45 sharp (the library is closing then). Also, note that this is NOT in the same location that we have had most of our past edit-a-thons - it's in the engineering library, in building 10. 

Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi all,

We at MIT Libraries are pleased to host a Wikipedia Day edit-a-thon again for 2020 centered on newly-in-the-public domain books that MIT has digitized. We will have it on January 15, 2020 (Wikipedia's 19th birthday!) from 4-7pm in Barker Engineering Library on MIT's campus.

and register here: https://libcal.mit.edu/event/6126715

We will have birthday cake!

Also, you may be familiar with MIT's tradition of hosting many workshops and events during the Independent Activities Period (IAP) in January. My colleague who is also involved in our edit-a-thon is teaching another workshop that may be of interest to Wikipedians who work with copyright and free licenses called "Is it in the public domain?" That's on Jan 7. Find out more and register here:

Hope to see you all at the edit-a-thon!
