5:00pm — 6:15pm CET
Library University of Salerno - GWMAB

For WikiGap and Art and Feminism 2022 campaign, the GWMAB and the University Library Center of the University of Salerno, with the patronage of the Swedish Embassy in Italy and the partnership of associations Mind the Gaps, Wikimedia Italia and Wikimedia  Sweden and the University student associations (ALF, Asinu, ASP, Forma Mentis, Linguisticamente and RUN), are promoting a datathon to improve the items relating to women present in the catalogs of Italian libraries. The editathon will take place online; it will be possible to discuss on the discussion page of the editathon, on the Telegram group and, from 17 to 18, on Zoom.

Queries will be provided that will allow to improve certain groups of elements of women having a specific authority control ID but without important information useful for their identification (dates, occupation, affiliation, etc.). Users will also be able to improve other aspects of the elements they encounter (e.g. by adding new identifiers, improving aliases, etc.).
