Call for DPLA Beta Sprint Submissions

Press release: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/newsroom/Digital_Public_Library_America_Beta_Sprint

The Beta Sprint seeks, ideas, models, prototypes, technical tools, user interfaces, etc.—put forth as a written statement, a visual display, code, or a combination of forms—that demonstrate how the DPLA might index and provide access to a wide range of broadly distributed content.
