As a program of CLIR, the DLF is overseen by the CLIR Board, with assistance from the DLF Advisory Committee. Its activities are guided primarily by the DLF program director and DLF community members, in partnership with the broader digital library community. Programmatic directions and initiatives are driven by discussions at the annual DLF Forum. Funding for DLF initiatives comes from membership dues and grants.
The DLF currently maintains a dedicated website at www.diglib.org.
