Colleagues, I'd like to call your attention to a draft white paper that is out from the Association of Research Libraries, that looks at the opportunity space for academic libraries and Wikidata and Wikibase. This comes from the convergence of interest in linked open data for both library discovery systems, and advancing a diversity and inclusion agenda in the cultures of both libraries and Wikimedia projects. We are inviting comment on the paper until the end of the month. Please read and give us your feedback!
