Hi everyone,
BCOEL will be having an informal lunch/meeting at the Cascadia Open Education Summit<https://bccampus.ca/event/cascadia-open-education-summit/> at SFU Harbour Centre on Thursday, 18 April at 12:45. The room is still to be determined, so stay tuned. We will just be grabbing lunch and going to a room to chat. Any librarians interested in open ed are welcome to attend the meeting. If you haven't attended a BCOEL event, please join us. Or, if a colleague from your institution is coming to Cascadia, please let them know about the lunch meeting and encourage them to attend.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Brenda
Chair, BCOEL

Hi All,
I know we are all busy with Open Education Week events at our home institutions but I would like to invite folks to the following event.
Best,
Erin
Indigenous Writers Wikipedia Edit-athon
Date/Time: March 4, 1-4 pm
Location: First Nations Longhouse, UBC-Vancouver Campus
Cost : Free! There will be author readings, refreshments, and door prizes
Register: http://bit.ly/2X2mV0m <https://t.co/C5HVFb3vx4>
In December 2015 Daniel Heath Justice<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Heath_Justice> (author of “Why Indigenous Literature Matters<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Heath_Justice#Why_Indigenous_Literat…>") began a Twitter campaign to share the names of Indigenous writers. The reason for his efforts was to “...push back against the frequent assumptions that our literary history is any less complex, robust, or diverse than that of other peoples.”[1]<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Vancouver/Indigenous_Liter…>
So why a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon?
Wikipedia is a multilingual, web-based, free encyclopedia based on a model of open community generated knowledge. The community driven nature of Wikipedia is meant to support Wikipedia’s goal of providing “…every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge.”[2]<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Vancouver/Indigenous_Liter…> However, well documented systematic bias including, information gaps, exclusions, diversity of articles and editors, and assumptions about neutrality and notability greatly impacts the information that can be found in an information source with millions of views per day.
The Indigenous Writers Wikipedia Edit-a-thon is seeking to improve the coverage of Indigenous writers on Wikipedia and to encourage diverse community editors to actively work to dissuade assumptions about Indigenous literature by raising their profile in this increasingly influential information source.

Hi BCOEL!
I chatted with Colin Elliott from Coast Mountain College yesterday- he is the Directory of Libraries at CMC and is interested in joining BCOEL.
Can someone connect with Colin to include him in the next BCOEL meeting?
Thanks!
Amanda
