New Digital Library Launches: Internet + Ancient Library of Alexandria


One thought on “New Digital Library Launches: Internet + Ancient Library of Alexandria

  1. Some public librarians have also expressed a concern that a national digital library will divert and reduce traditional public library funding which received a fast response from the DPLA. According to Peggy Rudd, a member of the board of directors, “the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies passed a resolution at their May 11, 2011 meeting asking the steering committee to reconsider the name Digital Public Library of America, fearing that the inclusion of the word “public” would have the unintended consequence of giving local governments the excuse to reduce public library funding”.
