*** Provincial Digital Library May 10th Symposium -  Registration open  April 18 - April 29***

We are pleased to open registration for the May 10th Provincial Digital Library Symposium.

In April 2014, the BC Government announced the creation of a Provincial Digital Library (PDL).  A PDL could be conceptualized as a phased, multi-year project, guided by an over-arching vision of access to the intellectual, historical and cultural record of the Province for the people of British Columbia. In its simplest form, a PDL's intent is to provide access to a range of materials that may enrich the intellectual and leisure life of a citizen, showcase the contributions of individuals, organizations and government, and contribute to the economic well- being of the province.

Please join the conversation surrounding a PDL for British Columbia. This meeting is open to all interested participants.

The agenda is shaping up to lead us toward a shared vision, to a potential governance structure, to deepen the conversation around metadata and infrastructure, and to formulate possible next steps for the coming 12 months.

What's On the Agenda?
*       Learning from others: Guest speaker Loren Fantin, from OurDigitalWorld will share her experience with similar large scale projects
*       Recap of November 4th meeting and Gallery Walk where you can add to the themes generated on November 4. Check here<https://bclaconnect.ca/wp-uploads/2016/02/PDL_Nov4Report_FINAL2.pdf> for the Report from the November 4 meeting.
*       Case studies: other digital libraries exist. How can we learn from them? A review of Digital Public Library of America, Canadiana, OurOntario, Europeana, Digital Library of Georgia, Trove (Australia)
*       Creating Frameworks around governance structures, and meta data/infrastructure - break out groups
*       Report back and Next steps
