Dear all,
Just a quite note to say that I have been remiss in my duties as admin for the Wikimedia & Libraries list, and let a *lot* of spam requests pile up, which I have now just deleted.
If by chance you have tried to send a message to the list in the last month or two and it didn't go through, it would have been caught in the same filter and I probably didn't see it. My apologies, and please resend.
And I will try to keep up better in future!

p.s. I know there are lots of exciting things going on in libraries with Wikimedia projects! Let's talk about them! List members: what have you been working on lately of interest?

Currently, breaking my head with ExLibris Primo/Digitool on BEIC.it to get Zotero extract the weirdest pieces of data and populate {{cite book}}. Cf. https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/January_2015/Contents/It... for context, https://it.wikipedia.org/?diff=70934302 for an example of citation we (and soon any Zotero user) can now produce automatically.

Sure! Most of the work is done by Zotero, which you can easily install: https://www.zotero.org/download/
If you are specifically interested in improvements for Primo instances and in populating the "language" field of cite templates, you can benefit from our version, which can be installed most easily by opening and authorising this URL in Firefox: http://koti.kapsi.fi/~federico/tmp/zotero-4.0.26.1-beic.xpi (clearly temporary method).
It's not yet decided whether I'll work on the importers from ExLibris Digitool and to Commons/cite templates of other languages: it will depend on what we import and where. If you have ideas on what's most worthwhile doing, please comment on one of our project pages. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18152337
