<https://certificates.creativecommons.org/about/testimonials/> Stephen
Craig Finlay, OER and STEM Librarian at UNO Libraries notes:
“If at all possible, take this course. It's probably the most valuable and
rewarding professional development training I've done since becoming an
academic librarian in 2013. I thought I had a pretty decent grasp of the
ins and outs of Creative Commons before taking the course, and the
difference in my knowledge and skill set now compared to then is night and
day. In my experience, the heavy majority of faculty don't have a great
idea of what CC is, how it works, or what it can do for them. Being a
campus resource for CC has raised my profile at the university, which has
done wonders for work building and running an OER program. As soon as I
started helping faculty with individual reference consultations about CC,
word started getting around. Now I'm getting faculty I've never met
emailing me to ask for advice on a CC question, because they heard about me
from a peer. Money well spent.”
Again, you can register for a course here

Culture Platform
<https://ldvrdm.clicks.mlsend.com/te/cl/eyJ2Ijoie1wiYVwiOjM1MjY1MyxcImxcIjo4…>
has

up of cultural heritage. This webinar invites you to continue these
conversations with wikimedians, living heritage experts, and Living
Heritage experts and networks over the Wiki Loves Living Heritage campaign
year of 2023.

on the observations of the Ethics of Open Sharing working group that have
been turned into a card game to encourage attendees to navigate the ethical
considerations. The cards are an adaptation of the MOI playing cards

a project by NEMO
<https://ldvrdm.clicks.mlsend.com/te/cl/eyJ2Ijoie1wiYVwiOjM1MjY1MyxcImxcIjo4…>

Hello Open GLAM community!
This email is to announce that the GLAM Wiki: The Culture, Heritage and
Wikimedia Conference will take place in Montevideo, Uruguay, in November
16-18, 2023. Save the dates!
Last week, the Wikimedia Foundation and the Conference Committee approved
our grant application [1] to host the conference in Montevideo, Uruguay.
The event will take place in the School of Information & Communications of
the University of the Republic [2], a beautiful building surrounded by a
public park within a walking distance from the "rambla", a walking path
next to the Río de La Plata River.
Our community has a lot of important topics to discuss in person, from
better supporting our tools for content partnerships with cultural heritage
institutions, to decolonizing knowledge, to more access to capacity
building and networking to grow the next generation of GLAM Wiki
collaborations.
To better engage with the community in the design of this event, we're
offering a launch event, taking place on April 13 at 5 PM UTC. We want to
learn from you! Please register on Meta [3] to receive the Zoom link. We
will be offering simultaneous interpretation in Spanish & Portuguese.
Want to get even more involved? Join our Scholarship or Program Committee.

Looking forward to seeing you all in beautiful Uruguay.
