As a contributor to\u00a0the AIC wiki, it was nice to meet some of the other contributors and put names to faces. I was hoping to see more enthusiastic contributors at the Edit-a-thon, but it was still a useful way to \u00a0get an update of what is happening with the wiki outside my own bubble and feel more a part of that community. Join us next time!
\nRachael Perkins Arenstein, the AIC e-Editor, started us off with an introduction to the wiki overall and\u00a0the current projects that she wanted to highlight, such as:
\n1. Lexicon<\/strong> http:\/\/www.conservation-wiki.com\/wiki\/Lexicon – Nancie Ravenel was there to give an overview of\u00a0where she was this going and how it filled a gap in current resources.
\n2. Oddy\/Materials Testing<\/strong> http:\/\/www.conservation-wiki.com\/wiki\/Oddy_Tests:_Materials_Databases – I happen to be one of the contributors for this\u00a0section of the wiki. We know that this is a controversial topic, but want to share information in an attempt to get others to do the same.\u00a0The database is really several sortable tables with the information collected during testing. I got some good feedback about how to improve the pages.
\n3. Exhibiting Conservation<\/strong> http:\/\/www.conservation-wiki.com\/wiki\/PR_and_Outreach-Exhibiting_Conservation
\n4. K-12 Educational Resources<\/strong> http:\/\/www.conservation-wiki.com\/wiki\/K-12_Educational_Resources_on_Conservation
\n5. History of Conservation & Conservators<\/strong> http:\/\/www.conservation-wiki.com\/wiki\/History_of_Conservation_and_Conservators
\n6. Reading Lists<\/strong> http:\/\/www.conservation-wiki.com\/wiki\/Education_%26_Training
\n7. Conservation Courses for Allied Fields<\/strong> http:\/\/www.conservation-wiki.com\/wiki\/Conservation_Courses_for_Allied_Academic_Fields
\n8. Setting up a Conservation Lab<\/strong> http:\/\/www.conservation-wiki.com\/wiki\/Setting_up_a_Conservation_Lab

\nI think one of the most interesting portions of the luncheon was a\u00a0report on responses\u00a0the BPG got from a survey\u00a0about the wiki. My take-away, to get more information onto the wiki we have to build relationships between conservators of differing experience by pairing conservators who are wiki-fluent\u00a0(typically\u00a0younger and less-experienced)\u00a0\u00a0with those who\u00a0have content (usually more experienced, but less tech savvy). This seems like a promising way to build\u00a0the wiki and \u00a0mentorship relationships!\u00a0Maybe we should pitch this to ECPN…\u00a0There was also some review about the disclaimers and banners that run across the top\u00a0of\u00a0most\u00a0pages. These were never meant to be left there and the creator wishes we would just do away with them. The outgoing OSG wiki-Editor, Lee-Ann Barnes Gordon, pitched some ideas she has been mulling over in regards to the banners. Such as, a progression of headers to give readers a better idea of where the page was in an informal review process. For example, “under construction\/adding content,” “under review,” “reviewed.”
\nSo not much content was\u00a0added, but some important information was shared. So please check out the wiki and if you see an area that you feel you could improve- contribute!
\nThanks to the NCPTT for funding this great luncheon! \u00a0Sorry I didn’t get everyone’s name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
