Hi Neil,
I am interested. We have a project going at work but I would be happy to take part in an AJL project.

Hi, Neil,

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.
Thanks.

Dear all,

Following our conversation at the AJL conference, I wanted to touch base regarding an initiative.

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.

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.

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.

Looking forward to the New Year, which we hope to be much better!
