 * Library, Information, and Technology Services (LITS) is hosting a Wikipedia edit-a-thon on Wednesday, October 23, 2013, in the Library's Stimson Room from 4:30 PM to 6 PM. Celebrate Open Access Week and write women into Wikipedia!

The event is open to all students, faculty, staff, and alumnae -- new and experienced Wikipedia editors alike. Nine out of 10 Wikipedia editors are currently men, and we're aiming to change that number by getting more women at MHC involved. Be there for editing, treats, and buttons!
