[DPLAsteering] OCLC and DPLA

[Stephen Hedges]

After Gwen's email to this list about her conversation with OCLC
management, she was contacted privately by DPLA with concerns about working
with OCLC. We want to let you know that Missy, Angela, and I sent a letter
today to Dan Cohen, Executive Director of DPLA, asking for clarification of
what DPLA expects if DPLA-Ohio explores a relationship with OCLC. We will
let you know when we get a response.
