About the Event
The University of Oxford’s IT Services, Bodleian Libraries and Wikimedia UK are organising an editathon focused on women in science to celebrate Ada Lovelace Day on 13 October 2015. The editathon will take place at IT Services on Banbury Road, Oxford, and will include basic training in wiki editing.

Ada Lovelace is widely held to have been the first computer programmer, and Ada Lovelace Day aims to raise the profile of women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) by encouraging people around the world to talk about the women whose work they admire. This international day of celebration helps people learn about the achievements of women in STEM, inspiring others and creating new role models for young and old alike.

A Wikipedia editathon celebrates the spirit of Ada Lovelace Day by helping people learn about the contribution of individual women to the world of science, and the aim of our editathon is to add to and improve the coverage of individuals, events and resources related to women in science.

Come along to learn about how Wikipedia works and contribute a greater understanding of the role of women in science!

Women in STEM resources

 * We will provide a variety of reference books on the day. Editors will also have access to some University of Oxford e-resources, including the Dictionary of National Biography.
 * We have a selection of Women in Science podcasts
 * Some of these women's papers are in the Bodleian Library. Although not all are available to researchers yet, we will provide some reproductions of archival material for those interested in working on related articles. Editors are welcome to make use of the Bodleian Library's collections before or after the event but will need to ensure they have a Bodleian Reader's Card (see Bodleian Admissions for information).
