In case you missed it, Kojo Nmamdi devoted Tech Tuesday to the @DPLA (with @RLFrick and @DanCohen)

2013.04.30-IMG_1945Kojo Nmamdi devoted his last Tech Tuesday of April 2013 to the Digital Public Library of America. I was invited back (having been on with Maura Marx and Maria Pallante 1 December 2011), joined by DPLA Founding Director Dan Cohen and Rachel Frick (Digital Library Federation).

It was a great chat with the charming host. Here's a description of the segment:
How the newly-launched online library builds off the work of public libraries, museums and archives and creates exciting new possibilities for researchers, programmers and curious minds. Public libraries have long played a central role in American communities. The Digital Public Library of America aims to follow in that tradition as an online database of the nation’s collective history and culture. We’ll look at how the newly-launched online library builds off the work of public libraries, museums and archives and creates exciting new possibilities for researchers, programmers and curious minds.

Digital Public Library of America on the Kojo Nnamdi Show

2011.12.01-IMG_5259Today, along with Maura Marx (DPLA/Berkman Center) and Maria Pallante (Copyright Office/Library of Congress), I appeared on the Kojo Nnamdi Show (WAMU) to discuss the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA).

From the Kojo Show website:
It's something of a dream for many: to digitize and make accessible the vast number of books, documents, artifacts, photos, videos, and other materials housed at thousands of different institutions across the country. The Digital Public Library of America is working on making it a reality. We explore a collaboration between libraries, museums, and archives - including the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian - that aims to put it all online.
It was my first time on live radio (or radio in any form!). Thanks to Yukon Radio Dave (David White) of the CBC for some hints on being a guest. The whole team at the The Kojo Nnamdi Show were very helpful and made for a great experience. I also got to give a small plug to the Biodiversity Heritage Library!
