The University of Pittsburgh's University Library System (ULS) has announced the launch of a new online service, Pennsylvania Digital Library (PADL). The new online service allows researchers, students, genealogists, and the general public to search digital collections created by Pennsylvania libraries, museums, colleges and universities, and historical societies.
Created by the ULS in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Advisory Committee on Collaborative Digitisation, PADL is part of the Pitt's extensive D-Scribe Digital Publishing Programme. It harvests the descriptive information about the material held in the numerous digital collections scattered across the Commonwealth. It indexes this information so it can be searched, free of charge.
Currently, PADL holds materials from Bryn Mawr College, Drexel University, Haverford College, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Penn State University, the State Library of Pennsylvania, Swarthmore College, Thomas Jefferson University, Villanova University, and Pitt.
