[jjohnson at library.ohio.gov]

Good morning! If you haven't already heard, our new and improved site is live!
We hope you'll be able to find all the resources you need to add your collections to DPLA, and some fun highlights of the materials already in DPLA.
Thanks to everyone here at ODN, 427 Design, and DPLA for the support and creation of the site.

Let us know what you think!

The State Library of Ohio is pleased to announce the website launch for Ohio Digital Network, Ohio's service hub for the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA). Ohiodigitalnetwork.org<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fohiodigitalnetwork.org&data=02%7C01%7Cjjohnson%40library.ohio.gov%7C9613a42fc3ed4ba68c3d08d5f65988a9%7C50f8fcc494d84f0784eb36ed57c7c8a2%7C0%7C0%7C636685786771588484&sdata=D%2F2QK8cw4VhR%2Btav2yCMsg3VJCBo97B0eKaxVKccuSU%3D&reserved=0> collates resources and vital information for Ohio libraries, museums, and archives working to expand access to their digital collections by making them accessible to the world.

A step-by-step guide for getting started, a metadata manual and metadata application profile document and video, copyright determination tools and rights statements, and links to other copyright resources are featured on the new website.  A statewide map and a list of links to all contributing institutions provides opportunities for networking and shared experiential learning for Ohio's cultural heritage institutions.

"Ohiodigitalnetwork.org enhances the work of the Ohio Digital Network (ODN) to encourage and support Ohio's libraries and cultural heritage institutions in their efforts to make their unique digital collections more broadly accessible," expressed State Librarian Beverly Cain.

Ohio Digital Network (ODN) builds on strong digital collection efforts across the state, including Ohio Memory and the Ohio Digitization Hubs project. As a part of DPLA, students and teachers, researchers, and history buffs can explore rich collections from across the state in one place alongside millions of resources from the growing DPLA network of partners. The DPLA website currently provides access to over 99,000 items in digital collections from 14 contributing institutions in Ohio.

Ohiodigitalnetwork.org<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fohiodigitalnetwork.org&data=02%7C01%7Cjjohnson%40library.ohio.gov%7C9613a42fc3ed4ba68c3d08d5f65988a9%7C50f8fcc494d84f0784eb36ed57c7c8a2%7C0%7C0%7C636685786771598489&sdata=LOFD4q08QdUPkPePetscxd6Sp%2Fqxr09qnfn0HKEu%2BDI%3D&reserved=0> was created for current and potential contributing institutions by 427 Design, a visual design and communications strategy company located in Akron, Ohio. "Working with 427 was a valuable experience for us-they asked us all the right questions to crystallize what we needed in a site, all while making the effort to learn exactly what makes libraries and managers of digital collections tick," explained Jen Johnson, library consultant and ODN coordinator for the State Library.

The launch of Ohiodigitalnetwork.org<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fohiodigitalnetwork.org&data=02%7C01%7Cjjohnson%40library.ohio.gov%7C9613a42fc3ed4ba68c3d08d5f65988a9%7C50f8fcc494d84f0784eb36ed57c7c8a2%7C0%7C0%7C636685786771608499&sdata=%2BNZ8rTwuZnh2YMTq%2FlLqR9scFxPfaAIc%2BiMTFunWnD4%3D&reserved=0> marks another major milestone for ODN and follows its March 2018 DPLA debut with collections from eleven Ohio institutions. "The ODN website will give us a local platform to highlight Ohio's items in DPLA but also serve as a resource center for institutions working to contribute their materials. We hope that this site will attract and support institutions all across Ohio, and communicate the value of participation in DPLA," said Johnson.

The Ohio Digital Network is a project of the State Library of Ohio<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Flibrary.ohio.gov&data=02%7C01%7Cjjohnson%40library.ohio.gov%7C9613a42fc3ed4ba68c3d08d5f65988a9%7C50f8fcc494d84f0784eb36ed57c7c8a2%7C0%7C0%7C636685786771608499&sdata=nb9WMjkoZMwe5aKh0Odz7PC4hxtXpGYb0I%2BGnICG7tU%3D&reserved=0> in partnership with Ohio Library and Information Network<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ohiolink.edu%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cjjohnson%40library.ohio.gov%7C9613a42fc3ed4ba68c3d08d5f65988a9%7C50f8fcc494d84f0784eb36ed57c7c8a2%7C0%7C0%7C636685786771618508&sdata=eyiiHJZ21%2BYZ3sg0rBwQ%2B3jFewk1u0v2JY7fSZAVGBA%3D&reserved=0> (OhioLINK), Ohio Public Library Information Network<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.oplin.ohio.gov&data=02%7C01%7Cjjohnson%40library.ohio.gov%7C9613a42fc3ed4ba68c3d08d5f65988a9%7C50f8fcc494d84f0784eb36ed57c7c8a2%7C0%7C0%7C636685786771618508&sdata=0tMq2aRomQuX%2BKz6uiFSoeFu6k0piq2LhtRzbUTgfX0%3D&reserved=0> (OPLIN), and Ohio History Connection<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ohiohistory.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cjjohnson%40library.ohio.gov%7C9613a42fc3ed4ba68c3d08d5f65988a9%7C50f8fcc494d84f0784eb36ed57c7c8a2%7C0%7C0%7C636685786771618508&sdata=4mMDTKY565RJn8SJtuWg5eNqBSRLSDJx0ddfnsChv7U%3D&reserved=0>. The State Library is one of the eleven Ohio libraries and cultural institutions members with collections in the initial launch of the Ohio Digital Network.

"The Ohio Digital Network is a primary component in the LSTA Five-Year Plan" said Missy Lodge, Associate State Librarian for Library Development.  "One of the 2018 - 2022 Plan goals places an emphasis on the discovery of knowledge and cultural heritage. The website will expand information about ODN to institutions wishing to provide greater access to their materials highlighting Ohio's cultural heritage."

Ohiodigitalnetwork.org was funded by a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, with support from DPLA. The work of Ohio Digital Network<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdp.la%2Fsearch%3Fpartner%255B%255D%3DOhio%2BDigital%2BNetwork&data=02%7C01%7Cjjohnson%40library.ohio.gov%7C9613a42fc3ed4ba68c3d08d5f65988a9%7C50f8fcc494d84f0784eb36ed57c7c8a2%7C0%7C0%7C636685786771628508&sdata=p3z1mI%2BnXVA6cncsNQt6LWCjzrmFipA%2FwkF1c3D4DIs%3D&reserved=0> is generously supported in part by LSTA funds awarded to the State Library by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and OPLIN.
