“Today I am at the Plenary meting of the Digital Public Library of America. The day-long session is focusing on exploring new collaborative ways in which libraries can contribute to the singular goal of, as one person said \u00a0‘the wal-mart of digital libraries.’ The initial announcement of the day was a 5 million dollar grant from the Sloan and Arcadia foundations. This is understandably a significant step forward for the DPLA and marks a chance to grow.<\/p>\n

“The afternoon started with beta-sprint presentations showing off system proof-of-concept applications. CLIR showed a system that aggregated data from publicly supported research projects from IMLS. The beta sprint projects are located at http:\/\/blogs.law.harvard.edu\/dpla\/ and show off ways of aggregating and sharing metadata, discovery systems and new approaches to indexing. There are some live links to these sites at http:\/\/cyber.law.harvard.edu\/dpla\/Beta_Sprint.”<\/p>\n
