[Metadatalibrarians] LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group: Summer/Fall Wikidata Working Hour Series Ninth Session December 18th!

[Hilary K Thorsen]

Greetings, everyone –



Over the summer and into the fall the <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Group> LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Group> will be offering a series of Wikidata Working Hours<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Group/Wikidata_Working_Hours/Wikidata_Working_Hour_Summer-Fall_Project_2023> to give folks an opportunity to try out various Wikidata-related skills and tools by assembling a data set of diverse library and information science (LIS) materials (articles, conference proceedings, books) and adding it to Wikidata. Wikidata Working Hours provide hands-on Wikidata experience in a supportive space. We hope you will join us if you are interested in learning more about Wikidata, exploring LIS literature, and have been looking for a fun Wikidata project to contribute to.



The ninth and final Wikidata Working Hour in the series will be using SPARQL and Scholia to query and visualize the data we’ve added to Wikidata during our series.


Date and time: Monday, December 18th, 2023 at 10:00am PT / 1:00pm ET / 18:00 UTC / 7:00pm WAT / 7:00pm CET (Time zone converter<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1702922400>)
