The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), currently based at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University but moving to a permanent location by spring 2013, is an ambitious projectto make the cultural and scientific heritage of humanity available, free of charge, to all. By adhering to thefundamental principle of free and universal access to knowledge, it will promote education in the broadestsense of the term. That is, it will function as an online library for students of all ages, from grades K-12 topostdoctoral researchers and anyone seeking self-instruction; it will be a deep resource for communitycolleges, vocational schools, colleges and universities; it will supplement the services of public librariesin every corner of the country; and it will satisfy other needs as well--the need for data related toemployment, for practical information of all kinds, and for enrichment in the use of leisure. **Content Division** The first major effort to add content to the DPLA is underway through the Digital Hubs Pilot Project,funded by NEH, IMLS and the Knight Foundation. The object of the Hubs Project is to strengthen andconnect existing state infrastructure to create a system of Service Hubs from which aggregated data fromlibraries, museums, historical societies and archives are harvested. Each Service Hub will offer a fullmenu of standardized digital services to local institutions, including digitization, metadata consultation,data aggregation and storage services, as well as locally hosted community outreach programs bringingusers in contact with digital content of local relevance. Service Hubs will serve as an on-ramp for everyinstitution in a pilot state or region to participate in the DPLA network.In addition to Service Hubs, Content Hubs are those existing large digital libraries that will have a one-toone relationship with the DPLA. Large digital content producers like the National Archives and RecordsAdministration (NARA), Harvard, and others will work with the DPLA directly to identify and preparetheir collections for aggregation by the DPLA. Content Hubs that will participate in the initial launch ofthe DPLA are currently being identified with anticipation of many more to follow. **Position Description** The Project Manager position provides an opportunity to play an important role in the development of ournational digital library by working with DPLA staff and collaborators throughout the country.
