"This report arises from the Library's own sense of its vulnerability and uncertainty at the dawn of the information age . Accordingly, the Librarian of Congress asked the Computer Science and Telecommunications Boards (CSTB) of the National Research Council (NRC) to conduct a study to provide strategic advice concerning the information technology path that LC should traverse over the coming decade." [Preface] This report is a result of that study. 265 (+ xviii) pages, with Bibliography and 4 Appendixes. Covers and text are clean and near new.

Digital information and networks challenge the core practices of libraries, archives, and all organizations with intensive information management needs in many respects―not only in terms of accommodating digital information and technology, but also through the need to develop new economic and organizational models for managing information. LC21: A Digital Strategy for the Library of Congress discusses these challenges and provides recommendations for moving forward at the Library of Congress, the world's largest library. Topics covered in LC21 include digital collections, digital preservation, digital cataloging (metadata), strategic planning, human resources, and general management and budgetary issues. The book identifies and elaborates upon a clear theme for the Library of Congress that is applicable more generally: the digital age calls for much more collaboration and cooperation than in the past. LC21 demonstrates that information-intensive organizations will have to change in fundamental ways to survive and prosper in the digital age.
