Have a Local History Special Collection? Invite Patrons in for a Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon

Here’s a neat-and-easy programming idea to get local history buffs into the library and promote your special collections: invite folks in for a day of intensive Wikipedia-editing on local history entries. (Spotted on Hennepin County Library’s Tumblr; Minneapolis Central Library will be holding an edit-a-thon in early 2012)
