"As the executive director of the Open Knowledge Commons, Marx is currently working with a wide assortment of library professionals, computer experts, authors, publishers, educators, government representatives, private industry, cultural organizations, and others as they pull the Digital Public Library of America into being....What has remained the same [across her many jobs and interests], and essential, she says, is access. “Access to information has always been the basis of all innovation and creativity.

It’s very exciting.” Indeed."
