New Report: “Assessment of the Library of Congress’s Digital Strategy”
From the Office of the Inspector General, Library of Congress:
The Library’s digital planning and execution activities have resulted in numerous accomplishments.

The Digital Collections Strategy and the Digitization Strategy play significant parts in the Library’s ability to meet its overall strategic goals, but LCSG has not followed SPPM’s strategic planning guidance and made the linkages clear. This includes linkages between the overall strategic goals, the performance goals in LCSG’s 2019-2023 directional plans, and the objectives in the Digital Collections Strategy and Digitization Strategy.
