Wiknics and Wikidata

Wikidata Workshop at IFLA-WLIC

August is a slow month for many in the United States, so we made our impact on the road.
IFLA-WLIC Wikidata presentation by User:Fuzheado in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Wikimedia DC member and Wikidata trainer Andrew Lih was in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at the IFLA-WLIC 2018 conference to give a Wikidata workshop at the largest annual international gathering of librarians. The workshop (Google Slides) was attended by 40-50 attendees and was the first time Wikidata had been presented at that conference.

More info can be found in the Malaysia report.
