Full Text of Remarks by Amanda French at DPLA Plenary Event in DC

October 21, 2011 by Gary Price

Kudos Amanda! Definitely one of the highlights from today’s event.
Direct to Full Text: “Aubade: The Soul and Body of a Library”
Here’s a Small Portion of What of Amanda Had to Say:

I think the DPLA must manifest itself as more than just a website. There must also be many largely hidden, quiet services, generous services to the public, to developers, to existing libraries. These must be both technical and social, and might include linked open data and metadata, APIs, persistent URIs / DOIs, reference and literacy services, preservation services in the form of an independent reliable repository, continual attention to accessibility and discoverability, and even policy work at the highest levels of government. A site that merely aggregates existing content without providing such services would seem to me like a Galatea, a mere lovely statue with no humanity other than what we project upon it.
