Episode 97 — Digital Potato Library of America

1 April, 20133 comments

In another single-topic Digital Campus, we react to the news that Dan is headed to the Digital Public Library of America as its Executive Director (no tears, no tears) by forcing him to tell us all about it. Special guests on the podcast include Berkman Center and DPLA Technical Workstream member David Weinberger, author of Too Big to Know and Everything is Miscellaneous as well as Nicholas Carr, author of The Shallows and The Big Switch. Issues raised include Internet centralization, the future of public libraries, and Mr. Potato Head.

    Puzzled. Ten weeks since last episode? Is this podcast discontinued?

    Whoops, Scott, we did disappear for the summer — but we are returning next week on 9/13/2013. Hope you’ll tune in. 🙂
