Ever been on the It’s a Small World ride at Disney World? It’s one of my favorites…even when, as it did a few years ago, it stops near the end of the ride for about thirty minutes. Most of the riders ...were not apprehensive—obviously nothing bad could happen at the Happiest Place on Earth, right? So, we sat back, looked around at all the colorful signs that bid us goodbye in many different languages…and listened (and sang along) to the ride’s saccharine theme song on repeat. Ad nauseum. When we finally lurched ahead again, we never wanted to hear that song again.

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.
