Hi all,
The UC Riverside libraries are holding three edit-a-thons as part of
Wikipedia Loves Libraries, on Oct. 12, Oct. 26, and Nov. 23 (all are
Saturdays).
Details are here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Riverside/WLL/2013
The edit-a-thons will focus on the very cool special collections at the
Riverside libraries, including the Eaton Collection of Science Fiction and
Fantasy:
http://eaton.ucr.edu/ -- "the largest publicly-accessible
collection of science fiction, fantasy, horror and utopian literature in
the world."
Other special collections that editors might want to use include the Water
Resources Archive (
http://library.ucr.edu/wrca/), and a collection on the
Tuskegee Airmen archive (
http://library.ucr.edu/tuskegee/). And of course
all of the other UCR library resources will be available as well.
This is a fantastic opportunity to take advantage of a great library and
librarians who are eager to share their collections! If you can attend in
person please do, or if not consider participating remotely -- feel free to
make reference requests on the talk page :) And please encourage your
friends in southern California to attend.
