3 I am pleased to present the Annual Report of the Librarian of Congress for Fiscal Year 2013.

The historic halls of the Library of Congress are always bustling—with historians, librarians, cata- logers, copyright experts, authors, scientists and poets. And those are just some of the 3,224 talented people who work here.

In fiscal year 2013, the Library welcomed 1,619,170 visitors and answered the questions—both personal and profound—from 513,946 more at our reference desks and through our Ask a Librar- ian service. The Library also responded to more than 636,137 research requests from Members of Congress and their staff. And the U.S. Copyright Office provided 255,078 direct reference services to members of the public.

The Library also continued to expand its global collections—which grew in fiscal year 2013 by 2.65 mil- lion analog items to a total of more than 158 million. We added online 7.6 million new primary-source files for a total of 45.2 million, freely available for education and inspiration beyond Washington. We added features and information on the nation’s authoritative legislative source, Congress.gov; continued to build the digital historic records files at the U.S. Copyright Office; and introduced new mobile apps for the U.S. Constitution and the National Library Service’s BARD reader for the visually impaired.

The amount of digital content generated throughout the world, in all languages, continues to grow exponentially. With content provided by the Library and 178 partner institutions in 80 countries, the Library’s World Digital Library website is making multilingual and multimedia primary-source materials available in seven languages online.

The Library continued and built upon its long tradition of recognizing exceptional achievement. Natasha Trethewey served with distinction as the Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry and was ap- pointed in fiscal year 2013 to a second term. The Library awarded the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song to a songwriting icon, . With the inspiration and generous support of philanthro- pist David M. Rubenstein, we established the Library of Congress Literacy Awards, recognizing organizations that are doing exemplary, innovative and replicable work in literacy promotion. And we established the Library of Congress Prize for Fiction, rec- ognizing the long and important writing career of Don DeLillo.

In these pages are highlights of the work of the nation’s library. The images and infor- mation reflect an institution that has continued to grow from its beginnings in 1800 to LETTER FROM THE the dynamic, global resource it is today. The Library of Congress is truly a gift from Congress—the greatest supporter of a library in the history of humankind—for its constituents and for seekers of wisdom everywhere.

10 11 The Library of Congress is an essential resource to assist Congress in performing its constitutional duties.”

—Rep. Gregg Harper (R-Miss.) Chairman, Joint Committee on the Library

The Library of Congress was established in 1800, to pro- vide resources to Members of Congress for use in their work. The Joint Committee on the Library—the oldest continuing joint committee of the U.S. Congress—was created by legislation signed by President John Adams on April 24, 1800, which also created a library for the nation’s lawmakers and provided for its . The unique collaboration between these two institutions has allowed both to serve the nation for more than two centuries.

In fiscal 2013, the Library supported Members of Con- gress, their staffs and constituents in a variety of ways, from providing reference, research and analysis on key issues of the day to supplying surplus books to congres- sional districts. The Library also continued to implement new technologies to make the legislative process more accessible and transparent to the American public.

LEGISLATIVE SUPPORT The Congressional Research Service (CRS) in the Library of Congress has one mission: to serve the nation’s law- makers in the performance of their work. The research SERVING THE and analysis, seminars and programs produced by CRS provide the U.S. Congress with a nonpartisan, confidential resource that helps them navigate the legislative process and address important, complex issues. Last year, CRS CONGRESS responded to more than 636,000 congressional reference requests, and Congress accessed CRS research products on CRS.gov nearly 1 million times.

16 2013 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS SERVING THE CONGRESS 17 A number of other actions were taken to operate under the reduced funding levels, including limiting new hires to critical vacancies; reducing overtime to a minimum and limiting it to per- formance of critical functions; freez- ing or reducing cash awards; limiting travel; reducing contracting and con- sulting work to those most critical to the Library’s mission; and a liberal ap- proval of leave without pay requests.

The Librarian of Congress testified in support of the Library’s fiscal 2014 budget request before the House and Senate Appropriations Subcommit- tees for the Legislative Branch on Feb. 27 and May 7, 2013, respectively. The fiscal 2014 request of $648.7 million, including nearly $40 million in offset- ting receipts, represented an increase of 2.5 percent over the base budget for fiscal 2013. Mandatory pay-related and price-level increases accounted for 100 percent of the requested increase.

COLLECTING In 2013, the Library’s collections grew to more than 158 million items in various formats. The Library acquired almost 2.65 million items during the year through pur- chase, gift, exchange or transfer from other government agencies. (See Appendix C, Selected Acquisitions.)

The U.S. Copyright Office forwarded nearly 642,000 copies of works with a net value of $29.4 million to the Library’s collections in fiscal 2013; more than 333,000 of these copies were received from publishers under the mandatory-deposit provisions of the law. The Library also obtained nearly 2,000 electronic serial issues through the eDeposit program that provides for the receipt of electron- ic serials demanded under copyright law.

The Library’s six overseas offices (in Rio de Janeiro, Cairo, New Delhi, Jakarta, Nairobi and Islamabad) ac- quired, cataloged and preserved materials from parts of the world where the book and information industries are not well-developed. Those offices brought in and distrib- COLLECTING, uted 287,649 items to the Library of Congress and, on a cost-recovery basis, provided 374,498 items to other U.S. libraries through their Cooperative Acquisitions Programs.

30 2013 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS COLLECTING, PRESERVING AND PROVIDING ACCESS TO KNOWLEDGE 31 The correlation between reading and success is clear and well-documented. Reading is not optional.”

—Walter Dean Myers National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature

PROMOTING CREATIVITY The Library of Congress, home to the U.S. Copyright Of- fice, seeks to spark imagination and creativity by promoting an effective national copyright system. The U.S. copyright law, tracing its roots to the Constitution, is an engine of free expression and designed to promote and protect American works of authorship. The database of copyrighted works and records of ownership maintained by the Copyright Office, and proceedings and rulemakings of the Copyright Royalty Board, facilitate copyright transactions large and small in the information, entertainment and technology sectors. (See Organizational Reports for more information on the Copyright Office and the Copyright Royalty Board.)

The Library also promotes creativity and cultural literacy through its many public programs throughout the year.

Public Programs During the year, the Library presented hundreds of public programs that promoted creativity, scholarship and life- long learning. Below is a selected list. Webcasts of many of these events can be viewed on the Library’s website.

The Copyright Royalty Board administers­ the royalty provisions of the Copyright Act. The act requires artists, copyright owners and recording and distribution companies to license their works to broadcast media. The three Copyright Royalty Judges who comprise the board make determinations regarding royalty rates, terms and distributions relating to these compulsory statutory licenses.

The judges also published final rates and terms for digital transmissions of sound recordings and ephemeral re- cordings by pre-existing subscription services and satellite digital audio radio services. In December 2012, the judges published cost-of-living adjust­ments for certain established rates.

In July, the judges published for com- ment the agreed terms and rates for business establishment services for the 2014–2018 license period. The judges completed the hearing phase for and issued their initial determination in a proceeding to distribute royalties de- posited by cable system operators for retransmission to their subscribers of over-the-air television and music broadcasts.
