Library Lab could be teaching space where guest learn to post to wikipedia,
by using equipment at MLKJ Library Lab, Then instead of complex Field Trips
journalism, just use MLKJ Library resources. Maybe Old Books, Out of Date
for Copyright, yet of intrest. Volunteer Reads book, looks online for info &
if needed, Write own Critical page & include some good illustrations or
photos from work. maybe several books from library shelves & article upon
subject.
so good that 100 other similar library lab projects feed into wikipedia. if
program shuts down at MLKJ Library, maybe apply to Library of Congress for
Room, think available across street from maiin laibrary. Have volunteers get
library reach card, from new library in basement. kind of spify. maybe move
to intown University library at some point & use those resources. if each
person did one aceptable article, after learning how, could work from home &
document some rare book from own collection.
Hoping to attend at least one gathering before new year.
