SUMMARY:Copyright & Licensing Training
DESCRIPTION:The practical applications in Higher Education of the most recent social or technical development (MOOCs\, social media\, digitisation and online collaboration etc.) or regulatory changes (RCUK & HEFCE OA policies\, new copyright exceptions) has led to a new level of complexity vis-à-vis Open Access and Copyright compliance. \nThis Copyright and Licensing training course is well-suited to those who require a basic understanding of copyright law\, licensing\, and open educational resources. For those who already have some knowledge of copyright law and licensing\, this course can serve as a refresher. Opportunities for questions and discussions will be ample. \nCopyright and licensing training is an important way to build confidence\, awareness and staff skills\, enabling them to provide information services in compliance with the law and open educational resources. \nEugen Stoica is a Scholarly Communications Officer for the Library and provides support for Intellectual Property Rights\, bibliometrics\, repository administration and e-theses. \nStephanie (Charlie) Farley is our Open Educational Resources (OER) Advisor for Educational Design and Engagement. She provides the OER service and the Open.Ed website. \nIf you’re interested in us running a tailored workshop for your department please get in touch. \n  \nBookings via MyEd: https://edin.ac/2MHI0Yp

SUMMARY:Getting started with Wikipedia - Editing using the new Visual Editor interface
DESCRIPTION:Editing Wikipedia has never been easier using the new Visual Editor interface which makes editing Wikipedia as easy as using Microsoft Word or WordPress blogs. \nThis is a workshop aimed primarily at anyone who is interested in learning how to edit Wikipedia but\, up until now\, were never entirely sure how or why to begin. \nNew editors are very welcome as full Wikipedia editing training will be given during this session and afterwards you can ask questions of the trainer about anything you were unsure of or next steps or anything else you maybe interested in. \nPLEASE NOTE: DESKTOP COMPUTERS ARE PROVIDED BUT YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO USE YOUR OWN LAPTOP IF YOU PREFER.\n \nPlease also create a username on Wikipedia prior to the event\, if at all possible\, by clicking on ‘Create Account’ in the top right corner of www.wikipedia.org \n\nA recent survey by Yougov found that around two thirds of the British public trust Wikipedia more than traditional news outlets including the BBC\, ITV\, the Guardian and the Times.\nOne of the most visited websites worldwide\, and now one of the most trusted\, Wikipedia is a resource used by most university students. Increasingly\, many instructors around the world have used Wikipedia as a teaching tool in their university classrooms as well.\nIndeed\, as the drive for scholarly research to become ever more Open Access gathers pace\, Wikipedia will increasingly become the digital gateway to this research.\n\nBookings via MyEd: https://edin.ac/2MkZx7I

SUMMARY:Introduction to Open Data with Wikidata and Histropedia - the timeline of everything
DESCRIPTION:Wikidata – “the source for open structured data on the web and for facts within Wikipedia.” (Wallis\, 2014) \nWikidata is a free and open data repository of the world’s knowledge that anyone can read & edit. Wikidata’s linked database acts as central storage for the structured data of its Wikimedia sister projects. It differs from Wikipedia in that it is completely language independent and its structured data can be read and edited by both humans and machines alike. \nUsing Wikidata\, information on Wikipedia can be queried & visualised as never before. The sheer versatility of how this data can be used is only just beginning to be understood & explored. \nDid You Know: The answers provided by Google’s ‘Knowledge Graph’ panels were powered by its own structured data repository\, Freebase\, until Google decided to wind down Freebase in 2015 in favour of migrating their data to Wikidata & supporting Wikidata instead. \nIn this session we will explain why Wikidata is so special\, why its users are so excited by the possibilities it offers\, why it may overtake Wikipedia in years to come as the project to watch and how it is quietly on course to change the world. \nWhat will the session include?\n\nA practical activity where you will learn the ‘nuts & bolts’ of how to use and edit Wikidata\, and help shape the future of open knowledge!\nA showcase selection of the most exciting applications and visualisations that have already been built on Wikidata including Histropedia.\n\nHistropedia is a website that visualises different events in the form of a timeline\, usually using a category from Wikipedia or a live query on Wikidata. The website is open for anyone to use\, edit\, expand or even reuse its source codes. It’s developers strongly believe in the power of data visualisation when combined with free knowledge and open data. The mission is to discover new and interactive ways to explore ‘the sum of all human knowledge”. \nWho should attend?\nAbsolutely anyone can use Wikidata for something\, so people of all disciplines and walks of life are encouraged to attend this session. Basic knowledge of using the internet will be needed to get involved in the practical activity\, but there are no other pre-requisites. \nAnyone interested in open knowledge\, academic research\, application development or data visualisation should come away buzzing with exciting new ideas! \nProgramme\n4.30-5pm: Introduction to Histropedia – the timeline of everything.\n5.00-6pm: Introduction to Wikidata – the free and open knowledgebase.\nNB: There are desktop computers in the room but you are free to use your own laptop if you wish. \nPlease also create a Wikidata account ahead of the event. If you have a Wikipedia account you can use the same login details. \n  \nBookings via MyEd: https://edin.ac/2NoJbfv \n  \nHeader Image: Wikidata wordmark with logo as a candle\, Wikimedia Commons\, CC BY-SA

SUMMARY:Wikipedia Women in Red - Learn how to edit and help create biographies of notable women
DESCRIPTION:Join us to write new Wikipedia articles to surface knowledge about notable women missing from Wikipedia. Suggested pages to edit/create will be provided but you will be supported to edit on any topic or person you wish to. No experience necessary. \nWe’ll be there 2pm to 7pm so join us when you can (lunchtime\, tea time\, home time) and stay as long as you want to/need to (some people get VERY into writing their articles when they get started). \nOpen to all. Everyone is welcome. \nAs part of the university’s commitment to Athena SWAN\, the University’s Information Services team run this session as a monthly Wikipedia meetup/edit-a-thon to address the systemic bias on Wikipedia where only 17.70% of biographies are about notable women. \nFurther details can be found on the Women in Red page. \nThese are informal drop-in sessions so knowledge of Wikipedia editing is beneficial. However\, Wikipedia editing can be easy to pick up as this 5 minute walkthrough of the new Visual Editor interface demonstrates. (If you have not edited before then please come at the beginning of the session for a quick crash course). \nThe editing will focus on creating and improving the quality of articles about notable women on Wikipedia using source texts such as The Biographical Dictionary of Scottish Women (working through surnames A-Z over the course of the next few months ahead) to turn red-linked articles that don’t yet exist into blue clickable ones that do.\n \nCome along to learn about how Wikipedia works and create new role models for young and old alike! \nDid You Know: In November 2014\, only about 15% of the English Wikipedia’s biographies were about women. Founded in July 2015\, WikiProject Women in Red strives to improve the figure which has reached 17.70% as of August 2018. But that means\, according to WHGI\, only 249\,079 of our 1\,468\,135 biographies are about women. Not impressed? “Content gender gap” is a form of systemic bias\, and Women in Red addresses it in a positive way through shared values. \nNB: The room has no PCs so bring a laptop along with you (along with a charger cable) or email ewan.mcandrew@ed.ac.uk if you want to borrow one.\n \nPlease also create a Wikipedia account ahead of the event. This takes 2 minutes to do and asks you just to create a username and password but it is important it is done ahead of time. \n  \nBookings via MyEd: https://edin.ac/2oYWvwS \n  \nNB: Want to host a ‘Women in Red’ event local to your part of the university?

SUMMARY:Resource Lists & Open Textbooks (Information Session)
DESCRIPTION:This session will provide an introduction and overview of the Resource List service and how it can be used to provide streamlined student access to learning and library materials. And an introduction and overview of Open Textbooks\, what they are\, how they can be used\, and where to find them. \n  \nResource Lists \nThe Resource Lists service uses Leganto to create and manage online reading/resource lists. Lists can include library materials\, journals\, weblinks\, links to Lynda.com tutorials\, Box of Broadcasts playlists\, Media Hopper videos\, and more. \nThe key benefits of the Resource Lists service are: \nStudents: to provide and facilitate access to key course materials and\, as a result\, improve the student experience. Benefits to students include: \n\nKey resources become more accessible to students: students spend more time reading items on their lists than searching for them.\nStudents can quickly see which items are ‘Essential’ reading: Resource Lists help students to prioritise their reading.\nImproved discovery of resources: students are introduced to key resources and signposted to further reading.\n\nAcademics: to simplify and streamline access to Library services\, saving time and better supporting learning and teaching. \n  \nOpen Textbooks \nWhat are open textbooks? Open Textbooks are books that have been made accessible online free of cost and are often also openly licensed as Open Educational Resources to allow free modification\, use\, and sharing. \nDue to concern over rising costs of textbooks the movement towards Open Textbooks has been growing in the US\, Canada\, and now the UK. This means there are now a number of providers and projects across the globe developing quality libraries and collections of open textbooks for Higher Education. \nIn this session we’ll provide an overview of Open Textbooks\, what they are\, how they can be used\, and where to find them. \n  \nBookings via MyEd: https://edin.ac/2tyVqhW \n  \nHeader Image: Open Textbooks\, by Giulia Forsythe (Flickr)\, Public Domain

SUMMARY:Teaching with Wikipedia: What do I need to know first?
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, open to all University of Edinburgh staff\, we will discuss best practice from four recent Wikipedia assignments at the University of Edinburgh and outline the steps that would be involved in running a Wikipedia assignment. \nDemystifying the process behind such assignments\, attendees will have the opportunity to find out more about how assignments can be conducted in their own field including: \n\nan overview of Wikipedia’s policies and guidelines;\nhow the new Visual Editor interface has made editing Wikipedia as easy as blogging with WordPress;\nhow to create worklists for students to create/improve articles in their field of interest;\nhow to manage assignments using the Dashboard platform and/or Project pages.\nthe rubrics available and how to tidy up articles at the completion of the assignment.\n\nIn a recent survey 97% of instructors have said they would teach with Wikipedia again while Wiki Education assignments have also been shown to improve student writing and the learning & teaching within the curriculum. \n2016 research confirmed that 87.5% of students were using it in “an introductory and/or clarificatory role” as part of their information gathering and research and finding it ‘academically useful’ in this context. The process of researching and writing a Wikipedia article demonstrates ‘how the sausage is made’ – how knowledge is created\, curated and contested online – and asks students as part of their research to consider what constitutes a reliable source. In this way\, students can be introduced to the pros and cons of searching a variety of databases as part of discussions on information and media literacy. \nA Wikipedia assignment isn’t just another essay or presentation that students may never return to\, but something that has actually been created; a way of demonstrating the relevance of a student’s degree and communicating their scholarship in a real-world application of teaching and learning. \nWatch a compilation of student feedback on the University of Edinburgh assignments. \n\n\nNB: Watch Your OERs will outlive you:(video) for a fuller picture. \n  \n  \nBookings via MyEd: https://edin.ac/2JIxr64

SUMMARY:Introduction to Wikipedia's sister project: Wikisource - the Free Digital Library
DESCRIPTION:Safeguarding digital heritage and ‘the democracy of reading’ (Smith in Shaffi\, 2015) has never been more important. \nIn this session we will introduce you to Wikisource: Wikimedia’s free library of openly-licensed source texts. \n“Libraries are about freedom. Freedom to read\, freedom of ideas\, freedom of communication. They are about education (which is not a process that finishes the day we leave school or university)\, about entertainment\, about making safe spaces\, and about access to information.” (Neil Gaiman\, 2013) \nIn this session we will explain: \n\nHow Wikisource adds value to the work of researchers\, librarians & archivists.\nThe crucial role Wikisource plays in raising the visibility\, accessibility & appreciation of out-of-copyright texts & their authors.\nHow Wikisource links to its sister projects: Wikipedia\, Wikicommons and Wikidata.\nHow everyone can involve people around the world in having authentic contact with the past through Wikisource.\n\n“Quotations or images from centuries ago can still touch or inspire\, and as readers share this reaction online\, the interested audience grows. The Wikimedia projects make it easy for people to enjoy and share out-of-copyright text\, creating and satisfying a modern curiosity about past authors.”(Martin Poulter\, 2015) \nWhat will the session include?\n\nAn introduction to what Wikisource is and how you can engage with it.\nA short practical activity where you will learn how to navigate Wikisource and proofread a page of text.\nAn example of how an out-of-copyright/openly-licensed PhD thesis has been transcibed to Wikisource so the text is now 100% searchable\, quality-checked and linked to from Wikipedia just 1 click away.\n\nBasic knowledge of using the internet and some understanding of HTML markup would be beneficial to get involved in the practical activity\, but there are no other pre-requisites. \nWhat should I bring?\nDesktop computers are not provided so you will need to bring a laptop with you. If you need to borrow one\, please email ewan.mcandrew@ed.ac.uk at least 24 hours in advance. \nIn addition\, please have a think if there are copyright-free source texts you would like to see transcribed to Wikisource. \nPlease also create an account on Wikisource before arriving. If you have ever edited Wikipedia before\, you can use the same login details. \nReferences\nFlood\, Alison (2016). “Joanna Trollope: ‘UK cannot afford to close one single public library’”. \nShaffi\, Sarah (2015).“Smith warns library closures threat to ‘democracy of reading’ | The Bookseller” \nGaiman\, Neil (2013). “Neil Gaiman: Why our future depends on libraries\, reading and daydreaming”. \nPoulter\, Martin (2015).“The Shiver: communion with the past in a digital age | Wikimedia UK Blog”. \n  \nBookings via MyEd: https://edin.ac/2y1PvXj

SUMMARY:Introduction to Open Data with Wikidata and Histropedia - the timeline of everything
DESCRIPTION:Wikidata – “the source for open structured data on the web and for facts within Wikipedia.” (Wallis\, 2014) \nWikidata is a free and open data repository of the world’s knowledge that anyone can read & edit. Wikidata’s linked database acts as central storage for the structured data of its Wikimedia sister projects. It differs from Wikipedia in that it is completely language independent and its structured data can be read and edited by both humans and machines alike. \nUsing Wikidata\, information on Wikipedia can be queried & visualised as never before. The sheer versatility of how this data can be used is only just beginning to be understood & explored. \nDid You Know: The answers provided by Google’s ‘Knowledge Graph’ panels were powered by its own structured data repository\, Freebase\, until Google decided to wind down Freebase in 2015 in favour of migrating their data to Wikidata & supporting Wikidata instead. \nIn this session we will explain why Wikidata is so special\, why its users are so excited by the possibilities it offers\, why it may overtake Wikipedia in years to come as the project to watch and how it is quietly on course to change the world. \nWhat will the session include?\n\nA practical activity where you will learn the ‘nuts & bolts’ of how to use and edit Wikidata\, and help shape the future of open knowledge!\nA showcase selection of the most exciting applications and visualisations that have already been built on Wikidata including Histropedia.\n\nHistropedia is a website that visualises different events in the form of a timeline\, usually using a category from Wikipedia or a live query on Wikidata. The website is open for anyone to use\, edit\, expand or even reuse its source codes. It’s developers strongly believe in the power of data visualisation when combined with free knowledge and open data. The mission is to discover new and interactive ways to explore ‘the sum of all human knowledge”. \nWho should attend?\nAbsolutely anyone can use Wikidata for something\, so people of all disciplines and walks of life are encouraged to attend this session. Basic knowledge of using the internet will be needed to get involved in the practical activity\, but there are no other pre-requisites. \nAnyone interested in open knowledge\, academic research\, application development or data visualisation should come away buzzing with exciting new ideas! \nProgramme\n\n11:30am – 11:35am: Housekeeping and Welcome\n11:35am – 11:45am: Introduction to Histropedia – the timeline of everything.\n\n11:45am – 12:00pm: Introduction to Wikidata.\n12:00pm – 12:15pm: Practical demonstration of how to edit Wikidata.\n12:15pm – 12:25pm: Visualising the newly added data.\n12:25pm – 12:30pm: Q&A and close.\n\nNB: You will need to bring a laptop to take part. Please email ewan.mcandrew@ed.ac.uk at least 24 hours in advance if you need to borrow one. \nImportant! Please also create a Wikidata account ahead of the event. If you have a Wikipedia account you can use the same login details. \n  \nBookings via MyEd: https://edin.ac/2y44qQL

SUMMARY:Sharing research to Wikipedia and Wikidata - disseminating knowledge and improving impact
DESCRIPTION:Wikipedia is the fifth most visited website in the world and a top 5 referrer of DOIs. \nCiting high quality academic research on Wikipedia improves the quality of the information people access every dayand it has never been easier thanks to Wikipedia’s new Visual Editor interface.These citations are automatically picked up by impact-measuring tools like Altmetric. \nFurther\, you can create on-the-fly profiles of research and researchers by easily adding your papers and ORCID information to Wikipedia’s sister project\, Wikidata\, as structured\, machine-readable linked open data which is also indexed by Google using handy tools that scrape source metadata from pasted in DOI\, PMID/PMCID\, ORCID identifiers. \nIn this session\, open to all University of Edinburgh staff\, we will discuss best practice when adding University of Edinburgh research to Wikipedia pages. \nDemystifying the process behind the editing of Wikipedia\, attendees will have the opportunity to find out more about how research can be shared openly and deliver impact in their own field including such aspects as: \n  \n\nhelping to identify Wikipedia pages relevant to your field and how to cite/add a link to relevant University of Edinburgh research.\nadding the Open Access link (with an OA icon to demonstrate it is open to read) to papers already cited on Wikipedia.\n\n\nproviding an overview of Wikipedia’s pertinent policies and guidelines;\ndemonstrating how the new Visual Editor interface has made citing scholarly articles on Wikipedia so much easier and so much more consistent so Altmetric can automatically pick it up.\ndemonstrating how to automatically add researcher details and published papers on Wikipedia’s sister project\, Wikidata\, by scraping the source metadata from PMIDs\, DOIs and ORCID identifiers. Wikidata is indexed by Google and helps power it’s Knowledge Graph answer engine. The WikiCite project is creating a bibliographic repository in Wikidata so verifiable information there is stored as structured\, machine-readable open data. Importantly\, this is linkeddata so scholarly information can link to\, and leverage from\, complementary datasets.\n\nWhat do I need to bring? \nThere are no desktop computers in the room so please bring a laptop and charger with you. If you need to borrow a laptop\, please email ewan.mcandrew@ed.ac.uk at least 24 hours in advance.  \nImportant! Please create a Wikipedia/Wikidata account ahead of time. This takes just two mins and the same login details can be used for both sites (it is a unified login to all Wikimedia projects). \nPlease bring with you any relevant links to research\, DOIs\, PMIDs\, ORCIDs etc. Consider also any pages on Wikipedia that would be a good starting point for sharing research in your field. \nJoin us build understanding\, further discovery and help pay knowledge forward. \n  \nBookings via MyEd: https://edin.ac/2y62mI6

Not impressed? \n\n\nJoin us this for Processions 2018 as we help make Wikipedia better!\n\n\nThe event is open to the public. No prior knowledge is required. You’ll learn how to edit Wikipedia and participate in an open knowledge community. Participants will be supported to develop articles of their choice. \nNB: Please bring a laptop along to the event or email me at ewan.mcandrew@ed.ac.uk if you require to borrow one for the event. \nProgramme for Thursday 8 June\n\n\n12pm – 1pm: Welcome and crash course in Wikipedia editing.\n1pm – 7pm: EDIT! (Drop in when you can and stay as long as you want to/need to – Warning: Wikipedia editing is highly addictive)\n7pm – 7:45pm:Publishing the article if not already done so.\n7:45pm – Close\n\nThen you can check how long it takes for it to appear in Google’s top ten results! \nHave a look at the event page to see if there are pages you would like to help edit/create and if you fancy learning more about Wikipedia ahead of time then you can view the Wiki Basics site. \nBookings via Eventbrite: https://edin.ac/2JZdveQ \nHeader Image: Processions Banner created by Ewan McAndrew

SUMMARY:Copyright & Licensing Training - June
DESCRIPTION:The practical applications in Higher Education of the most recent social or technical development (MOOCs\, social media\, digitisation and online collaboration etc.) or regulatory changes (RCUK & HEFCE OA policies\, new copyright exceptions) has led to a new level of complexity vis-à-vis Open Access and Copyright compliance. \nThis Copyright and Licensing training course is well-suited to those who require a basic understanding of copyright law\, licensing\, and open educational resources. For those who already have some knowledge of copyright law and licensing\, this course can serve as a refresher. Opportunities for questions and discussions will be ample. \nCopyright and licensing training is an important way to build confidence\, awareness and staff skills\, enabling them to provide information services in compliance with the law and open educational resources. \nEugen Stoica is a Scholarly Communications Officer for the Library and provides support for Intellectual Property Rights\, bibliometrics\, repository administration and e-theses. \nStephanie (Charlie) Farley is our Open Educational Resources (OER) Advisor for Educational Design and Engagement. She provides the OER service and the Open.Ed website. \nIf you’re interested in us running a tailored workshop for your department please get in touch. \n  \nBookings via MyEd: https://edin.ac/2IIOTGn

SUMMARY:Digital Day of Ideas - Wikipedia and Wikidata: the sum of all knowledge
DESCRIPTION:The Digital Day of Ideas event is an annual showcase and networking event for digital scholarship across the University\, featuring workshops\, seminars and invited speakers from the wider Digital Arts\, Humanities and Social Sciences community. \nAfter lunch there will be the opportunity to explore digital methods in one of eight practical workshops including: \nWikipedia and Wikidata: the sum of all knowledge\nEwan McAndrew (Wikimedian in Residence\, UoE) \nWikipedia is the 5th most visited website in the world and the largest reference work on the internet.Wikidata\, the database that anyone can edit\, serves as the semantic backbone for structured data in Wikipedia and its sister projects. Unlike other digital intermediaries\, its open editing model is completely\, ruthlessly transparent. \nYet\, while it is the website that anyone can edit not everyone does or knows how to. This practical session will help provide a more informed approach to navigating how to use\, contribute to & evaluate the free & open encyclopedia. \nUsing Wikidata\, information on Wikipedia can be queried & visualised as never before. Beyond this\, SPARQL queries can analyse datasets from Wikidata\, and through federated queries\, analyse data from multiple other sources. \nThis session will include a look at how data can be added to Wikidata and how it can be consumed\, queried and visualised; whether it’s Voltaire’s works\, the collections of the National Library of Wales\, the Atlas of Hillforts project\, an analysis of MPs’ occupations or the 3 million linked citations visualised using the new Scholia tool. \nClick here for more information on the Digital Day of Ideas and Registration
