Hello,

You're invited to attend WikiConference North America 2018, hosted by the
Ohio State University Libraries in Columbus, Ohio from October 18-21!
WikiConference North America is the annual conference of Wikimedia
enthusiasts and volunteers in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This
is a great opportunity to learn more about the world of Wikipedia, meet and
network with the people who make it happen, and also learn about new
emerging projects that will transform the information field, including
an *Introduction
to Wikipedia for Librarians* hosted by OCLC.
