Controlled Digital Lending Webinar

In partnership with Public Knowledge, NDIA is hosting a free webinar. The discussion will be over Controlled Digital Lending, or CDL. CDL allows libraries to take the works that they already own, digitize them, and lend them out in a one-to-one owned-to-loaned ratio. We will explore the ability of CDL to enable preservation, enhance outreach and accessibility, maintain local control over collections, and assist underserved communities.

Join us for the discussion! The webinar is free but requires registration to join.
