Greetings: The May/June 2017 issue of D-Lib Magazine (http://www.dlib.org/) is now available. This is a special issue on the topic of the National Digital Platform, “a framework which IMLS, its grantees and various other stakeholders are using to guide activities and investments in digital infrastructure for U.S. libraries and archives”. There are 14 articles grouped under three sections: “Building Equatable Digital Communities”, “Expanding Digital Cultural Heritage Capacities” and “Opening Scholarly Communications”. A guest editorial by Trevor Owens, Ashley E. Sands, Emily Reynolds, James Neal and Stephen Mayeaux, Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) provides an introduction to this special issue (see http://www.dlib.org/dlib/may17/05guest-editorial.html). In addition to the full-length articles in this issue, you will find four brief articles in the In Brief column, which also presents excerpts from recent press releases. You can find news of upcoming conferences and other items of interest in D-Lib's 'Clips and Pointers' column. This month, D-Lib features the Kent State Shootings Digital Archive.
