County Library is holding a grand experiment during <a href="http://www.openaccessweek.org/">Open Access Week</a> (October 22-28):
We’re hosting a Wikipedia Edit-athon.<span style>
</span>(Read more about edit-athons <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_run_an_edit-a-thon">here</a>.)<span style> </span>We were inspired by an excellent webinar from
OCLC earlier this summer, which is available <a href="http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/Librarians_are_Wikipedians_Too.html">here</a>,
and have connected with some local Wikipedians to work with us.<span style> </span>Our focus will be writing and editing current
“stubs” related to Multnomah
County. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black">Do you have
staff or patrons who might interested in joining us at Central Library?<span style> </span>I’ve attached a flyer that I’d be pleased if you would post.<span style> <br></span></span></p>
