Comment LOC IS putting texts online (Score 1) 485
Despite the Librarian's comments, the Library of Congress is a sponsor of the National Science Foundation's Digital Libraries Project. Although the project doesn't attempt to provide all of LOC digitally, it does attempt to address the technological issues of a Stephensonesque `library.' Currently, this is done mainly through providing small online libraries on special topics. It's pretty cool, since it doesn't limit itself to text.
