Some collections are solely attributed to the work of librarians, archivists and content managers at the Oklahoma Department of Libraries (ODL). Others, such as the collections providing citizens access to digitized state government publications and forms, are joint projects between the Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES) and the Oklahoma Department of Libaries (ODL). Digital Prairie was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Oklahoma Department of Libraries.
