Previously presented?

I have had previous presentations about my experience using WorldCat with Submissions:2016/Beyond the basics of citation templates & Submissions:2015/How I supercharged the bibliography of a featured article – the (mostly) pros and (a few) cons of Worldcat and the OCLC. This will be more of a "how-to" presentation than those two.

Special requests:

I would like this to precede Submissions:2024/Using shortened footnote templates for book references. I would also like it to be on a different day than my Wikidata presentations, Submissions:2024/Adding authority control properties in Wikidata for writer and artist biographies & Submissions:2024/Using Wikipedia films and film makers red links to seed Wikidata. Adjacent presentations are Submissions:2024/Enhancing Digital Collections through Wikimedia Commons and Submissions:2024/How We Rescued 20 MILLION Dead Wikipedia URLs: An Internet Archive Update, and it would be best not to conflict with them and perhaps be in the same track.
