DLF Aquifer: Bringing collections to light through the Digital Library Federation:
DLF Aquifer is an initiative of the Digital Library Federation. Envisioned as a means of leveraging digital library content, DLF Aquifer will create scalable solutions to enable teaching, learning and scholarship. Beginning with a significant, well-bounded collection of digital content in the area of American culture and life, DLF Aquifer will create a test-bed of tools for selecting, collecting and providing access to quality digital content. Grounded in the thinking that libraries add value through the organization of information, DLF Aquifer offers opportunities for collaboration among libraries and with partners building repositories, content management systems, course management systems and other solutions that support the scholarly process. Future broader scale collaborations can be modeled on the DLF Aquifer experience.
