We are excited to help spread the word on the following event!<\/em><\/h4>\nSJSU ASIS&T Student Chapter Event: Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon<\/h4>\n
The SJSU ASIS&T Student Chapter is pleased to announce our first LIS-related Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon. Anyone is invited to participate and make a difference in the content of this heavily-used (over 400 million unique visitors each month) information resource. As of July 2014 there were nearly 33 million articles on the Wikipedia platform, with 15,000 new articles added every day and 27 million links redirecting users to additional resources. That\u2019s a lot of potential information to edit and enhance\u2026and there\u2019s always new LIS topics and recent developments to add, too!<\/p>\n
Participation is a great way to learn more about the (not-too-techy) technical side of Wikipedia, improve the platform as a data source, and improve the visibility of librarians who are engaged with Wikipedia and other information resources of interest to\/used by the global community.<\/p>\n
The Edit-a-Thon will be held virtually and asynchronously. Participants should register with SJSU ASIS&T (see below) and\u00a0can make edits\u00a0Monday, September 29 through Sunday, October 5. Not sure how to create a Wikipedia account or how to edit entries?
