Great to see your interest in 1lib1ref!
Remember to add the #1lib1ref hashtag to your edit summaries. Kerry (talk) 00:26, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you Kerry, I am still so new to Wikipedia, but I'll be sure to make a note for myself to add the hashtag. Are there any events or similar in Brisbane for #1lib1ref that you know about? Something with a little preamble about best practice ideally? Otherwise, are there any key sources you'd recommend to get me up to speed so I'm more help than harm!

 * Yes as it happens. State Library of Queensland is organising a number of sessions and I will be at them to help anyone needing any help. See the details here. My understanding is that any librarian is welcome to attend (not just SLQ ones). Just signup on their Google spreadsheet and come along. The sessions are held in a room with 16 iMacs so you can either use one of them or BYO laptop. SLQ is also drawing up lists of "easy tasks" for beginners, such as adding details of public libraries to articles for the towns/suburbs that have libraries, so that's a great way to get started with a task for which full instructions will be provided (where to find the source material, which articles to edit) etc. But of course you are also free to contribute to whatever articles you want too. SLQ has found people enjoy doing it together more than doing it separately at their own desks, hence the 8 sessions. Kerry (talk) 00:55, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

That's brilliant! Thank you so much for letting me know. I'll pass it on to my colleagues here, a few are very keen to contribute during #1lib1ref. Thank you so much for all your help! :D SailorKepler22-b (talk) 01:07, 12 January 2018 (UTC)


 * I just double-checked with SLQ and yes all librarians are welcome. I hope to see you there. Maybe if you come to one of the earlier sessions, you could then organise a session back at your own library with colleagues afterwards. Kerry (talk) 01:35, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for checking! Yes, that's a fantastic idea.  I'll see if I can get away for a bit and attend one of the sessions.  Many thanks! SailorKepler22-b (talk) 01:51, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
