Proposal: Put Library of Congress' Contents Online

Posted by timothy on from the how-many-libraries-of-congress-is-that-anyhow dept.

Mark_Uplanguage writes "The idea to scan in all materials available at the U.S. Library of Congress was presented at the Web 2.0 conference this week (as just one of many ideas presented). The proposed cost of $260 million would create a huge benefit to society (well, at least to those who can read English)."

    Compared to the $200 billion to kill and maim tens (hundreds?) of thousands of people in the name of "terrorism", $260 million to create essentially, a Library of Alexandria is a fucking bargain.
