Abstract
As the fifth most popular site in overall global web traffic, Wikipedia is often the starting point for research. Its mission is to provide free access to knowledge. So how can librarians and archivists leverage the power of Wikipedia and turn this tool into an interactive learning opportunity? Join us for a hands-on venture into Wikipedia. Learn about the five pillars and how content is contributed by Wikipedians. Then create an account, experiment within the friendly confines of your sandbox, and start editing actual articles. Bring your own device. Tickets must be purchased by Friday, March 16 through preregistration.
