Can We Create a National Digital Library?

by on

New York Review of Books: Can We Create a National Digital Library? Robert Darnton – “The following talk was given at the opening of a conference at Harvard on October 1 to discuss the possibility of creating a National Digital Library.”

  • “Despite the complexities, the fundamental idea of a National Digital Library (or NDL) is, at its core, straightforward. The NDL would make the cultural patrimony of this country freely available to all of its citizens. It would be the digital equivalent of the Library of Congress, but instead of being confined to Capitol Hill, it would exist everywhere, bringing millions of books and other digitized material within clicking distance of public libraries, high schools, junior colleges, universities, retirement communities, and any person with access to the Internet.” See also:
