Hello again all... for what it's worth, I do know Ginnie Cooper, the D.C. Public Library Director. <div>I saw past threads about looking for folks to collaborate with in D.C. - I'd be happy to introduce anyone to her if that is helpful.</div>

So: some great ideas suggested so far<br>
- work with George Mason's History and New Media project (awesome for<br>
historical reasons - they funded the first Wikimedia-related grant I<br>
ever applied for, in early 2005).<br>
Q: do they have space for a lab?<br>
<br>
- the top idea on <a href="http://www.allourideas.org/dpla/results" target="_blank">http://www.allourideas.org/dpla/results</a> : "work with<br>
GPO, DTIC, NARA etc to provide access to fed docs, perhaps offering<br>
assistance for digitization"<br>
Q: A liblab could definitely do this. What do those orgs currently<br>
need in the way of help?<br>
Related: how can we define a plan with the Internet Archive or other<br>
scanner-providers to get equipment soon?<br>
<br>
Finally, I invited Nate Hill, a local librarian and eloquent writer<br>
from my public library (SJPL) who was at last week's meeting, to join<br>
this list. He has been thinking about how to set up library outposts,<br>
and can help advise on what might make a good first demonstration.<br>
