The Bodleian Libraries are running a Wikipedia ‘Editathon’ in support of the Bodleian-developed online resource QueenVictoriasJournals.com. The aim of the session is to improve Wikipedia coverage of individuals and events mentioned by Queen Victoria in her journals. The event takes place at the Radcliffe Science Library next Friday 24 May, from 1-4pm.
We are hoping that we’ll have good turnout on the day from interested students… and maybe even staff!

This one-day workshop will showcase digital crowdsourcing projects in the Arts and Humanities, and discuss the impact of such initiatives. ‘Impact’ is a broad term, which encompasses issues connected to community, digital curation, public engagement and knowledge exchange. Key questions will include:
- What does impact mean in this environment?
- What types of impacts can be achieved by crowdsourcing initiatives?
- How can crowdsourced resources balance quality control and peer review?
- What are the impacts of devolving key processes away from core teams and institutions to public participants?
- What impacts do crowdsourcing initiatives have on participants and to what extent is it possible to influence this?

Rather it is about the good and critical uses of digital technologies in academic development to support the increasingly digital university.
