Please encourage students to
attend this Open House. It is an excellent opportunity for a professional
work experience that will benefit Puget Sound students and faculty and provide
valuable skills to a student interested in research, open Internet resources,
and our Puget Sound Collections.
This year the fellowship is for a Wikipedian-in-Residence.
This is an exciting opportunity for one of our students to dig through Archives
& Special Collections material to write and edit Wikipedia articles about
our holdings and link our collections to relevant Wikipedia articles.
Many museums and libraries around the country have explored similar projects
with a significant increase in online and physical usage for their archival and
special collections material. We hope that this student will also
organize a few public events around using our resources and becoming a
Wikipedian.
Below is a flyer about our open
house and here is link to the website. Please feel
free to share this with faculty and students.
Come learn more about this year’s project and
explore the collections at our Open House!
