Hello all! Just an announcement that the National Library of Scotland will be hosting a half-day workshop on 6 June, 2014 at the University of Edinburgh's Main Library. The event aims to make connections with staff members from organisations interested in working with Wikimedia but who do not currently have an ambassador, Wikimedian in Residence, or committed volunteer from the Wikimedia community to help them put together events like those organised at the National Library of Scotland and the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
The workshop will focus on how you can work with Wikimedia in ways that don't necessarily include editing (which can be a time consuming process). In particular, we will look at the different types of events that Wikimedia typically organise or support and discuss their benefits and how you might be able to incorporate them into your existing events schedule. There will also be a brainstorming/feedback session designed to make working with Wikimedia more convenient for staff in cultural organisations. Spaces are limited so please contact [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> to reserve a space. There will be tea and coffee provided. For more details see our events page here: https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Working_with_Wikimedia_workshop,_Edinburgh Hope to see you there! If you can't make it, please feel free to share the event with colleagues in the area who might be interested.
