Wikimedia training for librarians

Hello again Abrenn! Thanks for attending our Wikimedia training session for Librarians, it was great to see you. Now that you've learned the basics, I do encourage you to stay logged in, and have another go at editing. If you don't want to write a new article straight away, then why not try a small edit or two first, add a link, or maybe a picture?

• The project page for the Scottish Library and Information Council Wikimedia project can be found here, and there's further reading specifically for librarians here.
• To keep up to date about Wikimedia events happening throughout Scotland, to learn more about ScotWiki projects, or to publicise your own ScotWiki event or project, join the ScotWiki Mailing List!
• If you’d like a refresher in how to edit, or learn more about editing, I recommend these tutorials:

1. For Visual Editing
2. For learning Wiki Mark Up (bonus friendly aliens)

Important things to remember

• All articles must have a notable subject

• You should avoid conflict of interest

Core content policies
