“The Digital Public Library of America site dp.la will launch April 18 with more than two million objects — including digital renderings of photos, books, manuscripts and other items from places such as the Smithsonian Institution, along with museums, libraries and historical institutions around the country. Cohen said DPLA will be ‘a lot more comprehensive’ than Google books, with ‘the full array of materials including music, photography, all kinds of art and manuscripts.’ He said the material will be online ‘in an open fashion, and not a gated fashion.’”
