Brief report

The event commenced at 8:30 am with self-introduction of the participants and an informal introduction about the event. As the participants were a mix of both new and experienced users, they're divided into two groups. The group of experienced users comprised members from VVIT WikiConnect. This group was briefed about the identification of reliable sources, using Google books and Internet Archive, and then about using Standard footnote template for citing various pages at different instances from one book. Then these users picked up various books from the library with the help of librarian, and improved references on relevant articles. On a parallel track, session for the second group which comprised of newly registered users, started off with the basics. This group included researchers, teachers, librarian, and students. The session included discussion on the five pillars of Wikipedia, various Wikimedia projects, basic content policies, importance and types of sources, Wiki Mark-up, and different citation templates. The tools, Citation Hunter and Wikipedia citation tool for Google books, were demonstrated jointly for both groups. The participants had a hands-on session for a couple hours before being wrapped up with a brief about sock-puppetry, and channels to seek help including IRC, at 1:30 pm. The Librarian of Annamayya Library, and the Honorary President of The Annamayya Library Association, Lanka Suryanarayana, supported the event well, and provided refreshments to the participants at free of cost. Facilitators presented three books to the library as token of gratitude for their support to the event.
