As the 7th most visited website in the world, Wikipedia has typically become the first place students turn to for information on a topic of research. But who is creating all that content? While there are almost 27 million user accounts, only about 127,000 editors contribute on a regular basis to Wikipedia. This hands-on workshop will be led by the ULS Wikipedia Visiting Scholars who will be sharing tips and tricks on how you can be a successful Wikipedia editor. You are encouraged to bring ideas, topics and suggested articles to the workshop to get started.

 

To learn more about what the ULS Wikipedian Visiting Scholars have been doing for the ULS, you are welcome to attend their presentation on the same date from 10-11:30am in the Amy Knapp Room.

Participants are strongly encouraged to bring a laptop.  Laptops are available for checkout from the Library information desk (Pitt ID required); if you will be checking out a library laptop please give yourself extra time before the workshop.
