Molly writes…..

How well do you know the Minnesota Digital Library (MDL)? Whether you are just discovering the project or have been a part of it since the beginning, there are many new things to learn about the MDL; what we have been doing, and how we can help you and the audiences you serve. MDL Outreach Coordinator Molly Huber will talk about the MDL and what changes have happened in the past two years, since we became a founding service hub of the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA). MDL’s work with the DPLA has opened up many new opportunities for us and the organizations we work with. We have new collections, new contributors, and new initiatives. Learn more, and see how you can be a part of it!
