Thanks to those of you who were able to join us at ALA in Anaheim. If you’d like to receive updates on this group, please subscribe to the listserv here: http://lyralists.lyrasis.org/mailman/listinfo/collaborative-dig
We would like to thank Emily Gore (Associate Dean, Digital Scholarship & Technology Services, Florida State University) for leading a discussion on DPLA and how our digital collections might fit into the framework of the DPLA as it takes shape. We were fortunate to be joined by several members of DPLA workstreams, including Robin Dale, Maura Marx, and Rachel Frick. Rhonda Marker (Repository Collection Mgr and Head, Scholarly Communications Center at Rutgers University) has written up a recap you can review here: http://bit.ly/O8vw7t
Rhonda Marker is now the chair of this august group. Thanks to Rhonda, this group will continue to be able to foster vibrant and informative discussions during our regularly scheduled Saturday afternoon slot.
We look forward to seeing you all at Midwinter 2013!
