The U.S. Library of Congress is well known for being the world's largest library. That is, in the traditional, paper format. Now, the library is on the way to hosting the largest digital collection in the world with more than 700 terabytes of data. VOA's Zulima Palacio explored the "cyber" world of the Library of Congress and prepared this story. Carolyn Presutti narrates.

It's not only the library of Congress that does this but many College and Universities, some upload to Arcive.com, others to Google, wand most libraries digitize alot of their older books that are over a hundred years old. things like the 'The Strand Magazine' from 1891 were many Sherlock Holmes stories first appeared including illustration are avalible online. places like 'Project Gutenberg', try to make text prefect versions, no scans.
