There’s been quite a bit of discussion in my library today about this
document recently released by the Digital Public Library of America:

http://bit.ly/dpla-partnering-metadata

The sentence that is leading to lots of discussion here is this one
(from the last page):

“In addition, at this time DPLA does not collect items from
institutional repositories (such as electronic theses or
dissertations, preprints, or grey literature), or data sets.”

We’re not freaking out about it, but we do find it curious. I’d be
interested to hear others’ thoughts.
