Edit-a-thons
WikiConference North America has two great edit-a-thons planned during Wednesday's Culture Crawl on August 9, 2017. These edit-a-thons are hosted with our Culture Crawl partners, McGill University Libraries and the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ).
If you have a laptop, be sure to bring it!
McGill University Edit-a-thon
Starting at 10 AM, McGill University is opening up its Data Visualization Room to Wikipedians for an edit-a-thon! The focus is to improve a list of Wikipedia articles curated by McGill's faculty. Participants will have access to on-site physical resources, as well as McGill's electronic subscription resources.
In addition to the Data Visualization Room, participants are welcome to explore and work in other areas of the library - for example, there will be open access to the Rare Books collection.
