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)."
