This user is a student editor in Wikipedia:Wiki_Ed/University_of_Illinois_at_Urbana-Champaign/New_Media,_Culture_and_Society_(Spring_2016). Student assignments should always be carried out using a course page set up by the instructor. It is usually best to develop assignments in your sandbox. After evaluation, the additions may go on to become a Wikipedia article or be published in an existing article.

I'm Megan, a junior at the

, and an English major pursuing Informatics and Linguistics minors.

I'm actually using Wikipedia for two classes this semester, so you may know me from MACS/INFO 326 or INFO 202.

Right now I'm interested in looking at the WikiProject on NA Indigenous Peoples - I work in the Maps Library and I think we might have some resources there I can use to contribute, I know for a fact we have some atlases, and some of the maps we have might be useful as well. I'm definitely more interested in using resources that fewer people have access to (i.e. the library collection) than ones generally available online. In the interest of linking things and using class time appropriately, this gazetteer, this map, and this microfilm might be helpful.
