Hi again,

Did you know that this week is the final week to register for our final Wikidata training courses in 2019? We'd love for you to join - but registration closes on Monday, October 14th so don't forget to register soon at data.wikiedu.org. 

This curriculum is for you if you're interested in.....
  • Elevating the visibility of your collections; 
  • Mapping culturally significant data from your industry to Wikidata;
  • Drawing new insights about data using Wikidata’s visualization and query tools;
  • Tracking and linking existing data in Wikidata to your data;

As a reminder, we're offering a beginner course for those new to linked data as well as an intermediate course for those familiar with linked data. Plus, if your institution is considering hosting two participants in any of our courses, did you know that we are still offering a group discount? We also have financial aid available for anyone without access to professional development funds. Check out our course registration forms linked below for more information.
