The DPLA recently held their first “Appfest,” convening at the Chattanooga Public Library. The event was described as “an opportunity for developers, designers, hackers, and others interested in the DPLA to develop web and mobile apps, data visualization hacks, dashboard widgets to spice up an end-user’s homepage, or other compelling projects.”
You can read descriptions of the apps, and find links to their code, here.
As the Digital Library of Georgia is a partner in the Digital Public Library of America, we want to keep you informed with the latest news about this exciting project. Expect to see regular updates on the DPLA alongside our regularly scheduled programming.
John Palfrey recently gave a TEDx talk about the DPLA entitled “Digital Libraries and Keeping Well in a Digital Age.” Palfrey is Head of School at Phillips Academy, Andover, and President of the DPLA Board of Directors.
