● Evolving the role of the library from just information provider, to that of a key partner throughout the research process
● http://dh.crc.nd.edu/sandbox/jstor-tool/
● Greater reliance on webs of data
● And the emergence of services developed from their aggregates
● Identities
● DPLA Map
● We are starting to see the end of boutique development, collections, and local metadata schemas in the library space
● Standards
● if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. (http://projecthydra.org/)

● Libraries as virtual spaces● And promotion of equity of access
● Blurring of differences between public/private/academic needs
● Libraries are comfortable with silos, let’s own it, and come to terms with it

● Large data aggregations and partnerships like the DPLA and Europeana will redefine and change for the better our notions of attribution or licensing of metadata
● Information doesn’t want to just be free, it wants to be very promiscuous.
● Libraries will largely recognize and adopt crowd-source metadata description for special and unique collections
● The institution will continue to become more transparent, as aggregations and linked data create the ability to create exhibits and collections from multiple sources.

Why is the DPLA Important
● Why is this important?● The content is interesting, but not the most interesting part – what is most
interesting is
● A large corpus of Metadata released under CC0 license (essentially into the public domain)
● Metadata being used as a platform
● Potential to build new services
● Potential to build new applications
● Pushes libraries to think critically about the partners they work with an how those partnerships can have impacts downstream
● Potentially, it starts to change the nature of how people interact with the library and it’s metadata.
