Congratulations John! Library data is such a powerful first step for engaging partners, and we definitely need more case studies on this!
Cheers,
Alex

*Hi everybody and sorry for crossposting,Wikimedia Sverige is proud
to
be
the recipient of $65,500 in support from the Swedish National Library
for
our project Library Data.We will work in collaboration with the
Swedish
National Library to include a number of datasets onto Wikidata, such
as
data about authors, libraries and different special databases of bibliographies[1]. This is a pilot project where we aim to discuss
with
the community what to include and what to exclude. Based on the
discussions
and the requests from the community we will design a continuation of this project (if this first part is deemed successful continuous funding
is
possible for 3-4 more years).We started investigating a possible long term partnership with the National Library in 2017 when Wikimedia Sverige delivered inputs to the new National Strategy for the Library Sector
on
how Sweden's libraries can work with Wikimedia for mutual benefits.[2]
The
National Library has just made history as the world's first national library to fully transition to Linked Open Data (BIBFRAME 2.0),[3] so
the
timing could not have been better; we are now in position to examine
how
this move can benefit Wikidata and other Wikimedia projects.Please contact the project manager André Costa (andre.costa@wikimedia.se andre.costa@wikimedia.se) or the developer Alicia Fagerving (alicia.fagerving@wikimedia.se alicia.fagerving@wikimedia.se) if
you
have any questions. As always, you can find the full application on our
