Dear colleagues, We hope this message finds you well. The Principal and Co-Investigators of the Collective Wisdom project - Drs Mia Ridge (British Library), Sam Blickhan (Zooniverse) and Meghan Ferriter (formerly Library of Congress, Smithsonian) - are interested in what happens after a project has gathered data enriched by crowdsourcing, machine learning/AI, or a combination of methods. We are conducting a study that explores projects' successes and challenges in incorporating enriched data into catalogues or other core systems in libraries, museums and archives. We're gathering information on the types of data, tools and processes used by project teams, and the barriers and aids to ingesting and integrating enriched data. Your insights and experiences are invaluable to this study, and we would be grateful if you could spare 10-15 minutes of your time to share your experiences. Please note that your participation in this survey is entirely voluntary, and you have the freedom to withdraw at any point during the survey without any consequences. Your responses will provide us with essential information that can help shape the future of enriched collections data. *The survey is open until April 18th, but we encourage you to complete it sooner:* *https://forms.gle/JgArpbL6VNM6W3Vk9 <https://forms.gle/JgArpbL6VNM6W3Vk9>* We're particularly keen to hear from projects in Europe, Asia and Africa. If you can, please share and help us reach a more diverse range of people. Thank you for your participation!
