Digital Public Library of America

Overview
The Digital Public Library of America initiative was launched in December 2010 by the Berkman Center for Internet and Society with funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Planning activities will be guided by a Steering Committee of library and foundation leaders. The Committee plans to bring together representatives from the educational community, public and research libraries, cultural organizations, state and local government, publishers, authors, and private industry in a series of meetings and workshops to examine strategies for improving public access to comprehensive online resources.
