Mount Holyoke College Fall 2013 Wikipedia Edit-a-thon
Library, Information, and Technology Services (LITS) is hosting a Wikipedia edit-a-thon on Wednesday, October 23, 2013, in the Library's Stimson Room from 4:30 PM to 6 PM. Celebrate Open Access Week and write women into Wikipedia!
The event is open to all students, faculty, staff, and alumnae -- new and experienced Wikipedia editors alike. Nine out of 10 Wikipedia editors are currently men[1], and we're aiming to change that number by getting more women at MHC involved. Be there for editing, treats, and buttons!
