In 2015, an ad hoc KDL Work Group was convened as follows:
Due to recent changes in the Kentucky Digital Library, the KYVL Leadership Team is seeking volunteers for a new Kentucky Digital Library (KDL) Work Group. Volunteers should represent libraries that currently have digital content in KDL or those that may be interested in adding digital content to KDL in the near future.
The charge of the KDL Work Group is to advise KYVL in sustaining access to digital content housed in Kentucky repositories and institutions for use by KYVL constituents. The initial timeline for work group activities calls for an environmental scan to be completed by February, 2016, and a proposed model developed by May, 2016.
The Kentucky Digital Library Work Group's Final Report was submitted in May, 2016.
Each of several constituency groups is eligible to name a representative to the KDL Work Group. Representation from each constituency group, however, is not required. The KYVL executive director serves ex officio. The Web Team chair is at large. Other members are selected by the organizations they represent, although initial appointments may be made by KYVL Leadership Team. Work group members serve staggered three-year terms that begin July 1.
The chair is named by the KYVL Leadership Team.

KDL member institutions are invited to participate in the KDL Member Council, which meets electronically approximately three to four times each year for updates on the work of the KDL Work Group, for support and collaboration, and to prioritize member needs and concerns. Meetings are coordinated by KYVL and the KDL Work Group chair, and announced via the KDL News e-list.
Institutions considering participation in KDL are invited to take part in meetings of the member council; however, voting privileges are limited to one vote per KDL member institution.
