*1Lib1Ref - Start with adding sources on Wikidata! *
In 2019 IFLA started a working group on Wikidata and Wikibase of motivated professionals. This group aims to coordinate actions, events and preparation of documents to leverage Wikidata and Wikibase in support of documenting collections and support capacity building in linked data, structured data, and cataloguing work.
From 15 May to 5 June 2021, the Wikimedia Foundation will again launch
the #1Lib1Ref campaign https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library/1Lib1Ref to invite library staff and their audiences to improve the reliability of sources in Wikipedia.
In order to support those interested in expanding this movement by offering a multitude of tools to contribute to the Wikipedia #1Lib1Ref campaign https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library/1Lib1Ref, IFLA’s Wikidata and Wikibase Working Group offers the possibility for 50 participants to attend a Train-The-Trainers workshop on the 21st of April at 16:00 CET to learn how to set up an event to contribute to Wikidata during the campaign period.
We will also provide resources that can help you learn how to edit on Wikidata, and show the advantages that Wikidata provides for improved discoverability of library collections.
Details and registration can be found here: https://www.ifla.org/node/93813
For more information on using Wikidata and Wikibase in the context of professional library work see the IFLA video series featuring work located at the National Library of Israel, the National Library of Wales, the Germany National Library, and others on topics such as metadata, equity, and linked data. All videos are subtitled in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, and Chinese: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV81siTMahbsjakNDIdFwbIvdyNqwRNPo

Hi Megs, all
Just as a reminder we are having our global user group meetup April 21, 2021 at 12:00 p.m UTC. If someone representing this effort (maybe you?) wants to come and talk a little about this it would be great but we'll definitely bring it to everyone's attention as another opportunity!
Meeting details including connection link are here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_and_Libraries_User_Group/Worldwide...
Hope to see you all there!
