Oversight hearing on the Library of Congress

Further, we urge the Library's leadership to re-dedimte itself to cooperative
cataloging programs and cooperative standards efforts, in which both the Library
of Congress and partner libraries can benefit from standards established together
. All parmers benefit from sharing standards and training; the result is a more
effective and efficient copy cataloguing process for all partners when accepting
copy from trusted sources. ALA and others in the library community stand ready

Since 1957, I have had the great honor and privilege of working at the Library of
Congress. Thus, this book is the product of someone whose major life work has
been in the Library of Congress. The responsibilities that came with my position
allowed me to traverse the globe, further build up the library's resources, and thus
help to enhance overall understanding of China and other foreign relations. I
would just add that the Library of Congress is much more than just a place where

Murder at the Library of Congress

Margaret Truman looks inside one of D.C.'s great institutions, the Library of Congress, the place where much of the wisdom of the nation is collected, and finds blood on the floor. Was there a second diary, beyond the one Columbus kept, describing his voyage to the New World? Leading scholars at the Library of Congress think so, and Annabel Smith, with her pre-Columbian interests, has been commissioned by the library's magazine, Civilization, to write about it. She is not the only person interested. Word comes through the rare-books black market that a wealthy bibliophile has been offered the second diary: He'd not only pay, he'd almost kill to possess it. Starting her search in the library itself, Annabel soon finds herself competing with an ambitious TV journalist. As both women come closer to finding the hidden documents, other questions creep up. Was the murder of the library's most prominent Hispanic scholar connected to the missing diary? Further research leads them deeper into barely explored corners of the library and closer to having to face their own mortality. Murder in familiar yet surprising surroundings- a great library- leads to a surprising conclusion in this latest Capital Crime novel. From the Hardcover edition.

Paying Michele Paul for his research broke your library rules, Cale, but it didn't
break any laws, unless the IRS decides to take a look at the charitable
deductions Driscoll was taking for his inflated donations to the library. Funny
about rich men like Driscoll, they don't have to cheat the government. But it
becomes a game of sorts, see how much they can get away with. Of course, if
Michele Paul is named as an accomplice to Driscoll's tax fraud, that means the
Library of Congress might ...

World Treasures of the Library of Congress

Beginnings

Beginnings is the first volume in the series, and first exhibition, and reveals how common themes have been treated in different cultures and is an exploration of how such cultures have dealt with the creation of the universe and explained the heavens and the earth.

The Library of Congress began in 1800 as a small collection of books and
documents that Congress used as its reference library in drafting legislation for
the fledgling republic. After the British army invaded Washington in 1814 and
burned the Capitol, including the by now 3,000-volume Library of Congress,
Thomas Jefferson offered to sell his personal library at Monticello to Congress to
"recommence" its collections. Not only did the library that Jefferson sold to
Congress include more ...

The Library of Congress World War II Companion

The noted historian John Keegan called World War II "the largest single event in human history." More than sixty years after it ended, that war continues to shape our world. Going far beyond accounts of the major battles, The Library of Congress World War II Companion examines, in a unique and engaging manner, this devastating conflict, its causes, conduct, and aftermath. It considers the politics that shaped the involvement of the major combatants; military leadership and the characteristics of major Allied and Axis armed services; the weaponry that resulted in the war's unprecedented destruction, as well as debates over the use of these weapons; the roles of resistance groups and underground fighters; war crimes; daily life during wartime; the uses of propaganda; and much more. Drawn from the unparalleled collections of the institution that has been called "America's Memory," The Library of Congress World War II Companion includes excerpts from contemporary letters, journals, pamphlets, and other documents, as well as first-person accounts recorded by the Library of Congress Veterans History Project. The text is complemented by more than 150 illustrations. Organized into topical chapters (such as "The Media War," "War Crimes and the Holocaust," and two chapters on "Military Operations" that cover the important battles), the book also include readers to navigate through the rich store of information in these pages. Filled with facts and figures, information about unusual aspects of the war, and moving personal accounts, this remarkable volume will be indispensable to anyone who wishes to understand the World War II era and its continuing reverberations.
