The extraordinary contributions of national libraries play an important role in maintaining the vast network of libraries and scholarly communities around the world. Numerous search tools, digital collections, national bibliographies, and portals have been introduced. By featuring national libraries, we hope to make them more accessible.
Each iteration of this series will feature a national library. Join us for the inaugural event featuring the Library of Congress on November 18th at 1:00 pm Central Time. All are welcome to participate. Free of charge.
