Last October, Penn Libraries observed Health Literacy Month by participating in the National Library of Medicine's #citeNLM Wikipedia Edit-a-thon to edit child and maternal health-related pages on Wikipedia, an open-source online encyclopedia that has become one of the world's most popular websites.

On March 31st, the National Library of Medicine will recreate this experience by editing healthy aging-related pages. No prior experience with Wikipedia is necessary for this volunteer activity. There are two ways to participate:

• Option #1: Do this as an asynchronous virtual volunteer activity from any computer with Internet access. Set aside some time on Wednesday March 31st (or any day of your choice). Follow the instructions available here.
• Option #2: Join the National Library of Medicine's virtual live Edit-a-thon on Wednesday March 31st from 1pm to 3pm Eastern Time. Register here for the live editing session.
