The Library of Congress, the largest library in the world, is moving towards a “digital-forward” strategy, according to a strategic plan released Tuesday.

Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden announced a five-year plan for a “digital transformation.”

“Improving our understanding of the numerous ways users interact with the library’s nearly 170 million items in our collections, experts and services is fundamental to delivering our mission,” Hayden said in a statement. “Our goal is to make the world’s largest library a place you can connect with in new and meaningful ways.”

The library wants to “throw open the treasure chest” and make public access to its vast collections easier. Over the next five years, the library plans to continue their “aggressive digitization program” and expedite the availability of new content on the web.

Experimentation is a major tenet of the new strategic plan. The organization has been stuck in the past in many ways, from a computing system built in the 1970s to static processes for staff. But the library is looking to shed that baggage, by promising that staff will have “training, tools, infrastructure, opportunities, and organizational support needed to enable staff to adapt to a changing information landscape.”
