It is impacting on identities and cultures, while transforming the shape of the knowledge that we will transmit to future generations as our legacy. Maintaining access to knowledge is a core UNESCO priority that guides our work to develop and encourage policies ensuring the survival of the world’s memory. This International Conference, Memory of the World in the Digital Age: Digitization and Preservation, is a key initiative to facilitate the transmission of knowledge in support of global development goals. The Conference will provide a platform for connecting people and institutions, private and public, from across the world. It is an opportunity to forge new strategic alliances to safeguard knowledge. It will also pave the way for strengthening UNESCO’s action to promote knowledge and share experiences on digital heritage preservation. I welcome all conference participants and encourage everyone to explore all aspects of preserving knowledge in digital form, in order to craft solutions that promote sustainable and equitable development for all.

Mitigating these threats has become the modern equivalent of protecting the storehouse of human wisdom. From challenges posed by technology to those of economics, politics and culture, a global and collaborative effort is required in order to digitally preserve recorded knowledge for future generations.

  • Library of Congress, National Library of China Sign World Digital Library
    Library of Congress, National Library of China Sign World Digital Library Agreement The Library of Congress and the National Library of China have concluded an agreement to cooperate in developing the World Digital Library. Signing the cooperative agreement in a brief ceremony on Sunday in the Asian Reading Room at the Library of Congress were Zhan Furui, General Director, National Library of China, and Librarian of Congress James Billington. The signing took place in the presence of the Minister of Culture for the People's Republic of China, Cai Wu, on the occasion of the meeting of the U.S. President's Committee for the Arts and Humanities. The two libraries agreed to provide content to the World Digital Library and to cooperate in such areas as the development and maintenance of the Chinese-language interface, the convening of international working groups to plan and develop the project, and the formation of an advisory committee of leading scholars and curators to recommend important collections about the culture and history of China for inclusion in the World Digital Library. The Web-based World Digital Library, slated to launch in April 2009, is an initiative of the Library of Congress and other cultural institutions around the world in cooperation with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Other institutions participating in the project include major libraries from Brazil, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Russia, Serbia, and Sweden, the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration, the John Carter Brown Library, and the libraries of Brown and Yale Universities. The goal of the World Digital Library is to represent major world cultures in a way that contributes to better understanding among different cultures, as well as to serve the needs of scholars and researchers.

  • WDL Governance and Decision Making
    World Digital Library: Governance and Decision Making The World Digital Library (WDL) is a project of the Library of Congress, established in cooperation with the United Nations Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (UNESCO) in 2007. The project has engaged national libraries, archives, museums, universities, research institutes, and other organizations from over 100 countries. Mission The project’s purpose was described on the World Digital Library website, “About the World Digital Library”, as follows: The WDL makes available on the Internet, free of charge and in multilingual format, significant primary materials from all countries and cultures. The principal objectives of the WDL are to: Promote international and intercultural understanding; Expand the volume and variety of cultural content on the Internet; Provide resources for educators, scholars, and general audiences; Build capacity in partner institutions to narrow the digital divide within and between countries. The WDL was originally proposed in 2005 by then Librarian of Congress James H. Billington in his opening plenary address to the U.S. National Commission for UNESCO Annual Conference, at Georgetown University, Washington, DC. The purpose of creating a special world digital library as a unitary project with diverse participants would be to attempt to provide a minimal, dependable online encyclopedia of the world's most important and interesting two-dimensional cultural objects, just as UNESCO has created an inventory of the world's most important three-dimensional

  • Acquisitions and Bibliographic Access Directorate Annual Report 2007
    Acquisitions and Bibliographic Access Directorate Library of Congress Report of Fiscal 2007 (Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2007) Fiscal 2007 was an extraordinary year for the Acquisitions and Bibliographic Access Directorate of the Library of Congress. The directorate achieved record high production of cataloging for the third consecutive year and reduced its cost per record produced; acquired more than two million items for the Library’s collections from all parts of the world; implemented a fully electronic Cataloging in Publication program; developed twenty new training courses; and advanced policy and standards for the entire library community. The directorate also prepared to merge its acquisitions and bibliographic access functions in order to achieve even greater efficiencies and innovations in the near and long- term future. Fiscal 2007 was the third full year of operations for the Acquisitions and Bibliographic Access Directorate, which was formed in July 2004 by the merger of the former Cataloging and Acquisitions directorates. The new ABA Directorate encompassed acquisitions and cataloging functions, recognizing that both functions serve the goal of building the Library’s collections and providing access to information and knowledge. The acquisitions divisions include the Acquisitions Fiscal Office (AFO), African/Asian Acquisitions and Overseas Operations Division (AFAOVOP), Anglo-American Acquisitions Division (ANAD), European and Latin American Acquisitions Division (ELAD) and Serial Record Division (SRD). The bibliographic access divisions are the Cataloging Distribution Service (CDS) and the eight divisions of the former Cataloging Directorate: Arts and Sciences Cataloging Division (ASCD), Cataloging in Publication Division (CIP), Cataloging Policy and Support Office (CPSO), Decimal Classification Division (DEWEY), History and Literature Cataloging Division (HLCD), Regional and Cooperative Cataloging Division (RCCD), Social Sciences Cataloging Division (SSCD), and Special Materials Cataloging Division (SMCD).

  • Abstracts - Digital Library Futures – 25 August 2009
    Abstracts - Digital Library Futures – 25 August 2009 Session 1: David Nicholas, University College London – UK The Digital Library User Experience: the virtual scholar The paper describes and evaluates the information seeking behaviour and use of academic staff and students in the virtual environment, in which they are seemingly so in their element. Data are drawn from a seven year study of the virtual scholar conducted by the CIBER research group at UCL and covers their use of e-journal, e-learning and e-book databases. Hundreds of thousands of scholars, from all over the globe are covered in the analyses. On the basis of these data, the characteristics of their ‘digital footprints’ are highlighted demonstrating as a result the huge paradigm shift that has occurred in information seeking behaviour of our young scholars. Or so it would seem. The results are surprising, disturbing and challenging, especially in regard to younger scholars (The BL/JISC Google Generation study will be referred to). The paper concludes with a discussion of how information professionals might best meet their information needs, the possibility of disconnecting from the user base as the digital transition moves at an increasing pace. Daniel Teruggi, INA / Europeana - Paris, France Europeana The ambition of Europeana is to make all cultural contents accessible through its Portal, providing a unique access point to them where any kind of media is represented. It is oriented towards the general public but also to professionals or scholars. The user perspective is then essential for the success and acceptation of the project. However, how can this feedback be obtained; do users expect something specific? Are they really looking for something? Independently from traditional statistic and survey actions, it is important to obtain the perception users have of Europeana and to thus structure and orient a portal representing a new way of access to culture.

    THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS 101 INDEPENDENCE AVENUE, S.E. WASHINGTON, D.C. 20540-1610 EMAIL [email protected] PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICE Statement of Dr. James H. Billington The Librarian of Congress before the House Subcommittee on Legislative Branch U.S. House of Representatives March 20, 2007 Madam Chair Wasserman Schultz, Mr. Wamp and members of the Subcommittee: It is a pleasure and honor to appear before you today. We are pleased that this important subcom- mittee has been restored and has given us separate opportunities both to examine the Library’s FY2008 budget and to review the Library’s broad transformation into the digital age. I will outline the overall vision and strategy with which the Library has been addressing the challenge of digital technology, and I will then ask my colleagues in the leadership of the Library to describe briefly the goals and challenges ahead in their respective areas. The Library of the 21st Century The Congress of the United States has been the greatest patron of a library in the history of the world. Building on its purchase of Thomas Jefferson’s large and wide-ranging personal library in 1815, the Congress has created and sustained the largest single repository of recorded knowledge in the wid- est variety of languages and formats in human history as well as the most exhaustive record anywhere of the private sector creativity of the American people. This body of knowledge helps inspire Americans to create and achieve, providing our country with the intellectual currency that is necessary to maintain our unrivaled position of global competitiveness.
