At this point we also want to take the opportunity to thank Hilde van Wijngaarden (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) for initiating and chairing the group in 2021 and 2022. Thank you for your great work, Hilde.

For the next two years, the Working Group will be chaired collaboratively by Nicole Krüger (ZHAW University Library), Helen Moore (University of Sheffield, UK), and Tamara Pianos (ZBW).
