Hello all,
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope this day is finding you well. <span> </span>I
know you’re as excited as I am about the Ohio Digital Network,
Digital Public Library of America (DPLA)’s service hub. As you
may know, the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) is a
portal for finding digitized photographs, books, maps and other
items from across the United States. Items appear in the
collection through a process called metadata harvesting, where
descriptions of the digitized items are gathered and organized.
The Ohio Digital Network is the group of libraries, historical
societies and museums in our state whose metadata will be
harvested.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a community engagement center for public
libraries, OPLIN is here to assist you with trainings and
information to learn about this exciting opportunity. Be on the
lookout for more training opportunities soon!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But until then, here are five things that you
can do today to prepare for the DPLA:</p>
