Wiki means quick and here’s a class that I’m planning to sign up for very quickly! Leslie N from Johnson County Library just sent me a heads-up that they are offering a class in August, which may be of interest to people working in libraries. As many of you know, this is a topic that is on my mind a lot, so I’m looking forward to this!
Wikipedia: Can We Trust It?
Johnson County Central Resource Library, (9875 W 87th St., Overland Park, KS)
Monday, August 13, 7pm
What information does Wikipedia offer me? Can I trust the information?
This class will take a look at how social networking is changing the way
information is created and shared. We will also look at the pros and
cons to Wikipedia and what the collaborative online encyclopedia teaches
us about information.
Anyone who is interested needs to register on Johnson County Library’s webpage: www.jocolibrary.org - the calendar is a graphic on the right-hand side. Or you can send an email to librarian Scott Vieira vieiras@jocolibrary.org (the instructor for the class).
