SUMMARY:Wikipedia Public Domain Day edit-a-thon
DESCRIPTION:Join the MIT Libraries for a Public Domain-themed Wikipedia 
 edit-a-thon! January 1st\, 2020 is Public Domain Day – the day when works 
 published in 1924 go out of copyright in the United States and enter the 
 public domain\, making them available for anyone to reuse and remix. To 
 celebrate\, the MIT Libraries annually digitize newly public domain works\, 
 and this year have digitized 10 works from 1924 focusing on women in 
 academia. These will join the 100 works from 1923 that we digitized last 
 year. Because they are now out of copyright\, we can freely use images and 
 text from these works on Wikipedia and other openly licensed 
 projects.\n\nJanuary 15 is also Wikipedia Day - the day when Wikipedia 
 turns 19 years old! Wikipedia was founded on January 15\, 2001\, and 
 Wikipedia editors around the world mark the occasion with edit-a-thons and 
 celebrations. Join us to celebrate at MIT by editing Wikipedia articles and 
 contributing text\, images and references to the world's largest 
 encyclopedia. We'll give you an introduction to editing Wikipedia and ideas 
 for topics to work on inspired by our public domain works\, or bring our 
 own topics. Experienced Wikipedia editors and librarians will be on hand to 
 answer questions and help\; new and experienced editors are welcome. We'll 
 have pizza\, snacks\, and cake into the evening to celebrate Wikipedia's 
 birthday\, Public Domain day\, and the future of open knowlege.
