[PL-Directors] State Librarians Ask for New Name for Digital Public Library of America

[Jim Scheppke]

Dear Directors:
I wanted you all to know that the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies is asking the steering committee of the Digital Public Library of America Project at Harvard University to reconsider the name of the project, which we think has the potential to undermine support for public libraries.

See the attached press release for the details.

Best,

Jim Scheppke, State Librarian
Oregon State Library
250 Winter St. NE
Salem, OR 97301
503-378-4367
(fax) 503-585-8059
