(Apologies for cross posting)
For those with an artistic side: Wikimedia UK, the National Library of Scotland, and the
Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design have teamed up to organise an editathon on
Scottish Women in Contemporary Art next Thursday, 13 March to be held at the University of
Dundee.
The day will be split into three parts. The first will be an informal drop-in training and
information session for any students, faculty, staff, or members of the public in Dundee
who would like to learn more about Wikipedia and how to contribute. This will be followed
by a formal round-table discussion on the relationship between artists, their work, and
intellectual property rights in an increasingly open access digital world. Finally, all
are welcome to join us in a tea-and-biscuit-fuelled editathon to put their newly acquired
editing skills to work creating and improving articles about Scottish women who have left
a lasting legacy in the artistic world.
Details and booking information are available here:
