This event took place 0930-1600, 26th October, 2013. Mitchell Library Glasgow. Wikimedia UK volunteers were present to pitch an idea during the camp.
One of the main organisers of the event was Anabel Marsh (anabelmarsh@googlemail.com) @AnabelMarsh.
Bookings (free) were captured here.
What is a 'Library Camp'?
- A user-generated unconference
- Open to anyone interested in libraries
This was the first Library Camp to take place in Scotland.
What is the 'pitch'?
This was the pitch proposed by --Graeme Arnott (talk) 07:09, 13 October 2013 (UTC) .
- How can any of the Wikimedia projects help groups working in and using libraries? How can Wikimedia help libraries better engage with their communities?
- Wikimedia in Scotland are particularly keen to work with groups (research, local history, and/or reading groups) that are currently under-represented, and where the projects can be used as a means to help overcome the digital divide. Wikimedians can provide free training and support to library staff and to user-group members in order to help people make their contribution to some of the world's most popular websites.
The aim was to let library professionals in Scotland know that the Wiki projects could be used to co-ordinate events in their local area.
Resources
These are a list of websites that I used to prepare for the event.
- Unconference
- Unconference.net and in particular the Methods page
- Hacktivities for webmaking
After the event I will blog about my preparations in more detail, give an explanation of what happened at the event and which of the resources I used. I'll also set out what I think was successful and try to provide some feedback from the participants.
