Bring a book (wrapped up so we don’t know what it is), and trade with someone else! Or bring books for other people to take! Or just take a book that someone else has brought!
PLUS! Baked goods. Ohhhhh, delicious baked elephants…I mean cookies!
One of our members Hedda Monaghan made this sweet handout for our workshop about Wikipedia! If you’re interested in learning more about Wikipedia (how it works, how you can edit it, etc.) you should check it out!
Also we’re working on making SLAIS’ Wikipedia page better. You should help!
Learn how to edit Wikipedia with ALA at UBC!
Tuesday, October 22, noon-2pm in the Terrace lab.
This event will include an hour long lesson from noon to 1pm on how to edit Wikipedia and how to understand the editing history and the “Talk” pages that exist behind the scenes of Wikipedia articles. The lab will be open from 1pm to 2pm for editing of Wikipedia articles with ALA student members on hand to help and offer advice. Come with an idea of a Wikipedia article that needs to be edited or created or simply come and spend time exploring the “underbelly” of Wikipedia.
This event is held in recognition of Open Access Week, October 21st-25th.
For more information, please email ala.slais.ubc@gmail.com.
The Terrace Lab can be accessed by ringing the doorbell for entry to the School of Library, Archival and Information Studies (SLAIS) department on the fourth floor of the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre. We will be expecting you!
