US begins plan for a World library
The US Library of Congress is starting plans for a World Digital Library, with a $3 million donation from Google. They are currently seeking more private funding and plan on building on existing digital projects from around the world.
“We are trying to do a documentary record of other great cultures of the world. How much we will be able to do will depend on how many additional partners we attract,” he said.
Google will work with the Library of Congress to develop stardards for indexing the vast amount of information.
