Oxford libraries and museums May 2015

A part of the Bodleian Libraries' Wikimedian In Residence project, Martin Poulter is giving an internal workshop for staff in Oxford's libraries on Wednesday 6th May. The title is "Working with the Open Culture movement: How cultural organisations are engaging researchers and the public through Wikimedia".

Abstract

This workshop looks at varied ways in which the cultural sector is using Wikipedia and other free sites to crowdsource improvements, context and scholarly uses of their content. As well as Wikipedia, we will look at sister projects including Wikisource, Wikibooks and Wikidata. This is an opportunity to get practical suggestions for how to use Wikimedia in your own work.
