Our first OA Week 2013 event happened yesterday afternoon. The Wikipedia Edit-a-thon was an opportunity for participants to learn how to easily become Wikipedia editors. Meghan Sitar, Elisa Nacca, and Krystal Wyatt-Baxter all presented on different aspects of the Wikipedia community. The three instruction librarians also created a helpful course guide that participants, and those who couldn’t attend, can use to get started with Wikipedia editing.
Daily Texan reporter, Leslie Zhang, also wrote up a nice piece about the event:
