"Library of Congress Joins Internet2
The Library of Congress (LC; http://www.loc.gov) has become a member of
Internet2 (http://www.internet2.edu) and will connect to Internet2's
high-performance Abilene Network. Led by more than 200 U.S. universities
working with industry and government, Internet2 develops and deploys
advanced network applications and technologies for research and higher
education. According to the announcement, the LC plans to collaborate with
the Internet2 community and leverage its advanced network infrastructure to
facilitate wide-scale digital preservation projects, to enhance the
development of an Internet-based database of U.S. newspapers, and to assist
with its educational outreach programs."

"Manners are of more importance than laws. Manners are what vex or soothe,
corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant,
steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air we breathe in."
Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
