Hi Phoebe - These are very useful, thanks! In my region, public librarians admit to being "scared" of Wikipedia and don't know much about it or how to use it. So...
*...here's a slide deck developed for a branch-wide presentation as an intro to Wikipedia: http://www.slideshare.net/bdcousineaul/10-things-you-need-to-know-about-wikipedia-but?from_search=2 * ... and here's an adaptation of a manual originally developed by Susanna Giaccai (still in my sandbox - feel free to improve!): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bdcousineau/sandbox1 Cheers, Bettina -- Opinions expressed are my own, and do not reflect the views of my employer.
