Introducing the Wikidata thesis toolkit



With the focus increasingly on the academic library as a provider of Open Knowledge, the libraries at LSE and York have been working to develop a process to upload research theses metadata to Wikidata in order to extend the access and visibility of scholarly content.  We are keen to reduce the development burden for this work across the sector and have compiled a toolkit to give guidance to other academic libraries who are interested in promoting their research in a similar way.



A more detailed introduction to our work can be found here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/14FylUJ9soIqMzH3yCOHHZzPgE7S3cvdZQowhpY2b5nY/edit>, and the toolkit itself can be accessed via the Wikidata Thesis Toolkit<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Wikidata_Thesis_Toolkit>.



Helen and Ruth will be presenting the toolkit at the Metadata and Discovery Group conference<https://www.cilip.org.uk/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=1729456&group=201298> in September 2023.
