Library of Congress App Offers Mobile Access to Digital Collection
Today, “the Library of Congress celebrates its 220th birthday. The nation’s library manages about 410 million digital files — 15.9 petabytes worth of digital collection content. To celebrate, the Library has released the “LOC Collections” app, which makes its digital collection available on any mobile device.
The collection includes audio recordings, books, videos, manuscripts, maps, newspapers, notated music, periodicals, photos, prints and drawings. Besides being able to search and explore the collection, users can also set up personal galleries of items for their own reference and share their curations with others.”
