LC LABS LETTER
Monthly News from the Library of Congress Labs Team
Our team, LC Labs, turns 5 this month! In September 2017, the Library established a group of innovation specialists to support creative uses of the digital collections. LC Labs works with colleagues around the institution to help throw open the Library’s treasure chest, connect more deeply with researchers and the public, and cultivate a culture of continuous learning. Over the past five years, we’ve done just that!
This month’s issue contains exciting updates on the 2020 Staff Innovator project, a walk down memory lane, and a look to the future with our new Chief, Laurie Allen! Enjoy.
