agenda➔ Introduction to DPLA
➔ Intended User Communities: Whom does the DPLA intend to serve? How do they do it?
➔Knowledge Structure + Organization:How does DPLA’s back-end run? What does their metadata look
like and what can one do with that metadata?
➔Looking Ahead:What challenges does DPLA face? In what areas is there room to
grow?
DPLA Mission
Officially established in 2013, the Digital Public Library of America
“...strives to contain the full breadth of human expression,
from the written word, to works of art and culture, to records
of America’s heritage, to the efforts and data of science…”

Intended Community Experience
Outreach
➔ Intended user group:
While the DPLA stresses its potential use in an educational environment, it most obviously
intends to be the free, mostly-publicly-funded resource for the general American public
➔ Strong outreach needed:
DPLA must prove its worth as a pedagogical tool in every classroom, and must reflect the
country’s diversity in every way
➔ Community Reps:
Program enlists enthusiastic volunteers nationwide to disseminate information about DPLA in
various cultural heritage and LIS environments

Contributing Institutions➔ The DPLA Digital Hubs Program is the heart of the DPLA; intended to establish national network
of state/regional libraries and large digital libraries in order to share digital content;
funded by NEH, IMLS, John S. & James L. Knight Foundation
➔ Service Hubs are state or regional libraries that aggregate metadata from institutions across their
state or region, harmonize those records with the DPLA-MAP, and submit them to the DPLA
(examples include Connecticut Digital Archive, Montana Memory Project, Digital Commonwealth
of Massachusetts)
➔ Content Hubs are large digital libraries, museums, archives, or repositories that are committed to
maintaining the metadata records they contribute to DPLA. They usually deposit at least 200,000
unique records (examples include the Internet Archive, U.S. Gov’t Printing Office, ARTstor,
California Digital Library, Smithsonian)
