Date: Saturday, February 1, 2014, 1-3pm core hours, library remains open until 6 pm.
Venue:Maryland Institute College of Art's Decker Library. Bunting Center, on Mount Royal Avenue between West Mosher and North Lafayette Streets. Please see the campus map for directions and public transportation options. We will be congregating in the Digital Lab, on the lower level of the library where there are more plug-ins and modular tables. Don't be shy - we'll be wearing a couple of Wiki pins! Etiquette: this is a library, quiet conversation is permitted. It is possible to enjoy covered drinks (not food) in the upstairs Laptop Lounge, but there are fewer connections there. Feel free to spread out after you get going!
Participants: This is a skill-sharing event. No Wikipedia editing experience necessary; as needed throughout the event, light tutoring will be provided for Wikipedia newcomers but it is a chance also to explore the self-guided Wiki modules. Female editors are particularly encouraged to attend.
What to bring: Please bring a photo ID. Otherwise, openness to learning and experimenting with the wiki platform! Supplying your own laptop & headphones is fine, as there is a public wifi, but you may also use the desktop workstations in the Digital Lab, on the lower level of the library, especially to use art databases. If you are a self-starter, do please follow the guide elsewhere on this page on how to create a user log-in before you arrive!
