The Library of Congress has received a $2-million grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to digitize public domain works. The grant emphasizes digitizing “at-risk” titles—or books that are falling apart—and volumes about American history. Dubbed “Digitizing American Imprints at the Library of Congress,” the project will also allow the LoC to invest in such technology as, according to a statement from the organization, “suitable page-turner display” along with a program dedicated to quickly indexing and capturing chapters and other sections of a work.Publishers Weekly Daily, 5 February 2007
