WikiClub: Lunch & Learn

Brought to you by the FIMS Graduate Library, the special library of the Faculty of Information and Media Studies at Western University

Have you ever thought about becoming a Wikipedia editor? The FIMS Graduate Library is hosting a monthly Wikipedia meetup focused on the overlapping connection between information professionals – librarians, journalist, media providers – and Wikipedia editorship.

This is a space for future information professionals (librarians, journalists, etc.) to learn the skills they need to successfully incorporate Wikipedia editorship into their practice.

Food and refreshments provided through a Wikimedia Grant from Wikimedia Canada
