OK, you can be the reference librarian!

I'll come with a VPN set up to UCB's campus that will allow me to pull

I usually find my sources through Google Books (plus I have a hard
copy of Julia Serano's Whipping Girl). I'll check my Google Books
bookmarks, probably tonight, and send them to this list. The journal
subscriptions will be really useful for me too -- I don't have
access to anything that's not publicly available.
Thanks,

Sue, great. Do you have a sense of what your sources will be?
I'm thinking that we could have some "reference materials" in
the room on our topics. In addition, BPL has some journal
subscriptions that might be useful. (SFPL has more, if you have
a library card with them.)
I know what you mean about "actually editing." Sometimes you
don't get much done, but I find I do get a lot of stimulation
for later edits.

I'm planning to come, and I'm going to try to edit on some
trans topics
("gender identity disorder" and stuff like that), since they are
presumably getting a lot of traffic these days, and the
articles aren't
very good.
(That said, my track record of actually editing at an
editathon is
pretty poor: I mostly end up talking or hanging out, not
editing. But I
am going to try.)
Thanks,

I would be more than happy to provide an intro in that
slot - I've
done a lot of similar presentations for education
program events and
for editathons. I usually use_________________________________________________
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CHEATSHEET> as my basic
handout type thing; it can be printed out, but we can
also just give
people the link (since presumably everyone will have a
laptop with
them.) There are a few others floating around, but I think
WP:CHEATSHEET is the easiest/most compact to use.
I'll also try to come up with some possible topics and
add them to
the editathon page within the next few days.
Thanks,
Kevin Gorman
