Libraries: the Next Generation [AUDIO]
October 13th, 2015
In 2013, the Berkman Center helped to launch the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), which brings together the riches of America’s libraries, archives, and museums, and makes them freely available to the world. This online portal delivers incredible resources and artifacts from all over America to the fingertips of students, teachers, scholars, and the public at large. Meanwhile at Harvard and many universities across America, libraries of all kinds are negotiating the opportunities of the digital with enterprise, ingenuity, and experimentation.
In this conversation DPLA Executive Director Dan Cohen, Faculty Director of metaLAB (at) Harvard Jeffrey Schnapp, and librarian and technologist Andromeda Yelton explore how libraries are drawing on their past, and using technology to create new resources for scholarship and education.
