[OPLINTECH] Summer Wikimedia Webinar Series from ODN

[jjohnson at library.ohio.gov]

Hello and happy Friday!

Your friends at Ohio Digital Network will be hosting 3 free webinars this summer, covering the span of Wikimedia Foundation projects and how you or your organization can utilize those projects to share your own work and collections with the Wiki community at large. We'll have plenty of time for questions and discussion, too.

No registration is required, and recordings will be available after the fact. Just mark your calendar and follow the links below!

What the Wiki: Wikimedia Foundation Overview

Thursday, June 25, 2020
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Wikipedia may be the most commonly used, but it's just one scoop of ice cream in the banana split of knowledge and data that Wikimedia Foundation has created. In this session, we'll review and discuss the workings of Wikimedia Foundation as a whole, the goals of each of their projects, and how you can use them to support patron and research needs.

What the Wiki: Community Editing

Thursday, July 30, 2020
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

The idea (and practice) of becoming a Wikipedia editor can feel overwhelming. In this session, we'll take the bite-by-bite approach of eating this fact-filled banana split. You've never eaten those in one gulp, so why start now? There are lots of ways to become involved, while updating and editing information about something you know inside and out - your own institution and community!

What the Wiki: Adding Content to the Wikiverse

Thursday, August 27, 2020
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Lastly, we'll top that banana split with our own content (or chocolate sauce, whatever!), and add it to the proverbial catalog of resources that other users can use, as well. Even if you're not into editing what's already there, your institution can increase its visibility on one of the most-used websites in the world.

Cheers and have a cherry of a weekend!
