<br>
I would be interested in the wikidata training. I no longer catalog Hebrew materials but I do quite a bit of special collections cataloging and I'm interested in learning more about identity management.<br>
Thanks.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Dear all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Following our conversation at the AJL conference, I wanted to touch base regarding an initiative.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As you know UMD has just started several projects for Special Collections that use Wikidata as the authority management platform. In the last few months we have been training a small group of our catalogers, briefly reviewed their progress, and involved
them in the projects. The projects are also part of the PCC WIkidata pilot program.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>At this point there are a few more UMD people that have manifested interest in going through the same training, which is essentially a 90 minutes session taught by Sarah Hovde and myself. We are pondering expanding this to other institutions. I wanted
to check with the Hebraica cataloger community and see if enough people would be interested either in joining our small UMD cohort or organizing a separate, Judaica specific group. Please share your thoughts on this. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A quick additional note regarding the RAS cataloging committee: we are closing down on membership. At this point we are still missing one member and we hope to ultimate details in a few weeks. Once everything is settled, we are considering having a Winter
zoom meeting in addition to the annual. We'll keep you posted.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Looking forward to the New Year, which we hope to be much better!</div>
