SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background:
The Institute of Museum and Library
Services is the primary source of federal
support for the Nation’s 123,000
libraries and 17,500 museums. The
Institute’s mission is to create strong
libraries and museums that connect
people to information and ideas. The
Institute works at the national level and
in coordination with state and local
organizations to sustain heritage,
culture, and knowledge; enhance
learning and innovation; and support
professional development. IMLS
conducts policy research, analysis, and
data collection to extend and improve
the Nation’s museum, library, and
information services. The policy
research, analysis, and data collection is
used to: identify national needs for and
trends in museum, library, and
information services; measure and
report on the impact and effectiveness
of museum, library, and information
services throughout the United States;
identify best practices; and develop
plans to improve museum, library, and
information services of the United
States and strengthen national, State,
local, regional, and international
communications and cooperative
networks. (20 U.S.C. Chapter 72, 20
U.S.C. 9108).
II. Current Actions
Over the past decade, libraries,
archives, museums, foundations and
government agencies, and others have
invested millions in the digitization of
historical and rare content for research,
education, cultural heritage. Grants have
facilitated major digitization efforts,
developed significant new collections,
and paved the way for exciting new
forms of research and teaching, possible
only in an online environment. As
budgets tighten and the real costs of
ongoing support for digital projects
become clear, however, libraries,
archives, and museums are discovering
