Greetings everyone,
Over the summer and into the fall the LD4 Wikidata Affinity
Group<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Af…
will be offering a series of Wikidata Working
Hours<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Af…
to give folks an opportunity to try out various Wikidata-related skills and tools by
assembling a data set of diverse library and information science (LIS) materials
(articles, conference proceedings, books) and adding it to Wikidata. Wikidata Working
Hours provide hands-on Wikidata experience in a supportive space. We hope you will join us
if you are interested in learning more about Wikidata, exploring LIS literature, and have
been looking for a fun Wikidata project to contribute to.
The first Wikidata Working Hour in the series will cover creating a bibliography of
diverse LIS articles and books. We will generate a spreadsheet of sources ready for use
during subsequent Working Hours.
Date and time: Friday, August 18, 2023 at 9:00am PT / 12:00pm ET / 16:00 UTC / 6:00pm CEST
/ 9:30pm IST (Time zone

Subsequent Working Hours will cover exporting articles and books from Zotero into
QuickStatements, webscraping for data in the PAWS environment, adding authors and
publishers manually into Wikidata, batch editing using OpenRefine, batch editing using the
LINCS tool, using the Author Disambiguator tool, and analyzing and visualizing data with
SPARQL and Scholia.
This session will be recorded and the recording shared on the event page.
