call March 19, 2024: Please join us on March 19 for a community discussion
about how GLAM professionals can incorporate Wikidata/linked data into
their work week. Bring your success stories about institutional buy-in and
how you’ve communicated the value of linked data to managers and
colleagues. We hope to share some strategies that you can take back and use
in your own workplace. This will be a followup of sorts to our call last
May, and you can review some of what we talked about then, plus slides from
our survey here: Notes from May 30, 2023 Meeting on Advocacy for Wikidata &
