Wikidata, a community-curated knowledge base related to Wikipedia, affects our access to information, wielding more power than many realize. Seeing an opportunity for improving access to knowledge and promoting their collections, libraries, archives, and other cultural heritage institutions have been experimenting with Wikidata in various ways. One burgeoning area of activity is in Wikidata’s scholarly citation data, but that participation has largely concentrated in the sciences, leaving a gap in its theological and religious studies coverage. This presentation demonstrates how this gap matters to theological libraries and shows how you can contribute to efforts to fill it, even in small ways. Delving into Wikidata can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. As long as you have basic computer skills, you can find a way to participate.

Technological developments in the 21st-century impacted teaching and learning English. one of the impacts of this technological development is reading activities and competencies, reading experienced a phase of change from printed text to digital text. The change from Printed text to digital text requires new literacies, such as locating information and synthesizing online information. This study aims to investigate teachers' perceptions of reading digital texts in ELT. About twenty-three ELT teachers, both in junior and senior high schools around East Java, were involved in this study. An online open questionnaire was distributed to portray ELT teachers' attitudes, knowledge, and practices in reading digital text. The study reveals that all teachers have a positive attitude toward the practice of reading digital text. However, most teachers have misconceptions about knowledge and practice in implementing reading digital text activities.  Surprisingly, all teachers in this study claimed that they never received a particular workshop to read digital text activities for English class.  Hopefully, this study's result could contribute to the ELT curriculum in responding to the need to facilitate the new literacy in (online) reading and teacher professional development to develop teachers' reading digital text competencies. However, teachers as facilitators in classroom learning activities must recognize new literacy in online reading (especially reading digital text) to help students achieve reading competence in today's digital-based information era.

Background: Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have improved the delivery of healthcare worldwide especially in disease control, patient management, and health data analysis. However, access to infrastructure like computers and knowledge of ICT is a major problem to various digital health initiatives among health professionals. Objective: The aim of the present study was, to assess healthcare workers' basic computer skills and use of social media and identify specific deficiencies that require training to help them function effectively. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among 51 healthcare workers in seven health centers in a region in Ghana over three months using a self-administered pre-tested questionnaire. Results: Half of the participants had adequate basic computer skills, of which 60.87% were women (P=0.0205). Only 15.69%, who were all males, of participants used computer software at least once a month. Most participants also used Facebook and WhatsApp. Conclusion: Health professionals in the health centers need to be trained on basic computer skills and, information technology should be incorporated into the health systems for efficient health delivery.
