Colleagues,
I'd like to call your attention to a draft white paper that is out from the
Association of Research Libraries, that looks at the opportunity space for academic
libraries and Wikidata and Wikibase. This comes from the convergence of interest in
linked open data for both library discovery systems, and advancing a diversity and
inclusion agenda in the cultures of both libraries and Wikimedia projects. We are inviting
comment on the paper until the end of the month. Please read and give us your feedback!
