=Description (share this anywhere)=

Wikipedia remains a popular source of information on many topics. In this event, we will take a tour of Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to food. The presentation will consider the scope of Wikipedia's coverage, the relationship between online publishing and traditional library resources, and how online volunteers respond when given the opportunity to write about food in the encyclopedia which anyone can edit.

Lane Rasberry is Wikipedian-in-residence at Consumer Reports, a United States-based non-profit consumer advocacy organization. His interests include access to health information and popular science.
