This paper exposes the advantages for library´s, archives´ and museums´ catalogs of being present in Wikipedia, one of the websites with the greatest number of visits, by providing users with data that allow them to navigate from Wikipedia articles to the aforementioned catalogs. For this, catalogs must have at least permanent URLs, being highly recommended http URIs as required by Linked Open Data. For that, it is necessary to link the descriptions contained in these catalogs with the Wikidata items, Wikipedia knowledge base and source for the control of Wikipedia authorities. The use of the Mixínímatch tool to facilitate links from Wikidata to LAM catalogs is described, exemplifying it in the Virtual Polygraph Library. In this way, LAM catalogs can overcome obsolete closed OPACs and become open catalogs.
