I would also be interested in helping out with this.

Regards.

any ways openlibrary.org can help here (cc: drini + charles + tom)? Open Library is very open/eager to make our inventory more accessible and to resolve books + authors against wikidata (and to write back, where appropriate). Gerard has recently done a great job facilitating author deduping w/ Charles. Drini + Tom have also worked towards better wikidata + ol integration.

What's needed from libraries for this current effort; how can we learn more and help?

best wishes,

Merrilee, Daniel, Wikimedia Librarians, WikiCite people, and Wikidatans, 

Thanks. Seeking here to add this thread to the Wikidata community too. 

Again, Wiki CC World University and School is looking for an online university library for matriculated undergraduate students (taking CC-4 MIT OCW courses for credit toward free Bachelor degrees), first in English for our second matriculating class potentially beginning this September. Soon thereafter, WUaS will be seeking major online university libraries, emerging from universities based on each country from - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - for matriculated WUaS students in each of all ~200 countries and potentially in all 301 Wikipedia languages - and for Bachelor, Ph.D, Law, MD and I.B. high school degrees in each of these countries' official and main languages. Thank you.

Best, Scott

I think a big one is missing on the list of options in the poll -
engaging with Wikidata and particularly WikiCite and offsprings like
Scholia or Inventaire.
