For the author pages it is quite straight-forward. For the bibliographic metadata the easiest would be to connect wikidata items with the "Book:" page generated by the (planned) Book Manager extension. The "Book:" page is supposed to provide the book structure and act as a metadata hub for both books with scans (those with Index: page) and books without scans (there was no solution for those yet)
Project page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Book_management
Problem, the extension is not finished yet and neither Molly nor Raylton have time to keep working on it. Some bugs are still open and the fields in the template would need to be maped to Wikidata properties. All this is not relevant for phase 1 (if it is done only for books), but it will Excellent news! :)
become relevant for phase 2.

Is there anyone that could volunteer as an OPW mentor to help a potential student to finish this project?

The page looks nice. It's a pity it's incomplete.

I can volunteer for the metadata/librarian part (the metadata structure should be Dublin Core compliant, and as DC every field should be optional and repeatable). Moreover, we would desperately need to import and export metadata. Tpt made the Index page OAI-PMH compliant, is this too? Of course, these fields should be integrated with WD properties :-)

We still have this draft mapping: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlPNcNlN2oqvdFQyR2F5YmhrMWpXaUFkWndQWUZyemc#gid=0

Hey everyone,

The next sister project to get language links via Wikidata is
Wikisource. We're currently planning this for January 13.
The coordination is happening at
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikisource  On this page we're
also looking for ambassadors to help spread the messages to the
different language editions of Wikisource. Please help if you can.


Cheers
Lydia
