   The Calhoun report draws unjustified conclusions about the digital age, inflates wishful thinking, fails to make critical distinctions, and disregards (as well as mischaracterizes) an alternative “niche” strategy for research libraries, to promote scholarship (rather than increase “market position”).
2. The Emma Goldman Papers
   Resource Type: Website
   The Emma Goldman Papers Project has collected, organized, and edited tens of thousands of documents from around the world by and about Emma Goldman (1869-1940), a leading figure in American anarchism, feminism, and radicalism.

It has published a microfilm edition of the papers (1991-1993) and A Guide to Her Life and Documentary Sources (1995).

   The Library cannot solve its space problems by adoption of a "digital strategy"
   without seriously damaging our larger mission to promote scholarship of unusual scope and
   depth. If the Library’s own access to its own general book collection were to be dumbed
   down to only the levels of subject access provided by Google, Amazon, or Internet search
   mechanisms, we would effectively be endorsing, and institutionalizing, the level of
   ignorance exemplified by the Six Blind Men of India.

   Published: 2006
   What is going on at the Library of Congress? Several recent decisions by the current LC
   administration have produced firestorms of protest, both inside and outside the Library, that LC is abdicating its professional responsibilities to the national system of shared cataloging, as well as undermining its core mission to acquire, catalog, make accessible, and preserve its own unparalleled holdings–especially its book collections.
9. Will Google's Keyword Searching Eliminate the Need for LC Cataloging and Classification?
   Resource Type: Article
   Published: 2005
