<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">The State Library of Ohio is pleased to announce the State Library Board recently awarded $39,916 in federal
<a href="https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/lsta-grants/">IMLS LSTA</a> funding to the Columbus Metropolitan Library to conduct a Digital Public Library of America Planning Project from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016. The project will develop a
plan for Ohio libraries and cultural heritage institutions to participate in the Digital Public Library of America through creation of an Ohio Service Hub. In 2014, the State Library used LSTA funds, matched by OPLIN funds, to develop Digitization Hubs at
four metropolitan libraries. “Working toward creating a DPLA portal for Ohio’s libraries supports the State Library’s strategic focus on expanding digitization and resource sharing opportunities for libraries,” said State Librarian Beverly Cain.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">“The DPLA Planning Grant is a logical next step for digitization activities in Ohio,” said Missy Lodge, Associate State Librarian for Library Development.
“The collaboration begun through the “<a href="http://www.ohiodigihubs.org/">DigiHub</a>” grants is continuing as the Hub partners look toward becoming an Ohio portal to DPLA.”
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">Partners in the DPLA Planning Project include the Cleveland Public Library, Columbus Metropolitan Library, LYRASIS, OCLC, OhioLINK, Ohio History Connection,
Ohio State University, Ohio University, OPLIN, Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, Toledo-Lucas County Public Library, and the State Library of Ohio. The Bishoff Group, LLC are lead consultants for the project.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">Founded in 2010, the DPLA is the nation’s digital library with the goal of bringing together the riches of America’s libraries, archives, and museums,
and making them freely available to the world. Participation in the DPLA will make material from Ohio’s libraries, museums and archives accessible to millions of users who search the Digital Public Library of America (</span><a href="http://dp.la/"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">http://dp.la/</span></a><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
