Vision
Building the future
We think a library should be more than a conveyor of information; it should provide the content, tools, and expertise to create new knowledge. In an age defined by computing, this means making our collections available not just to people, but to machines, algorithms, and applications.
When the future of libraries is computational, it’s more critical than ever to make knowledge more open, equitable, inclusive, accessible, and durable. That’s where we come in.
