Die Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek will Millionen Bücher, Filme, Bilder und Tonaufnahmen im Internet zugänglich machen. Über 30.000 Bibliotheken, Museen und Archive sollen ihr digitalisiertes Kulturgut beisteuern. Kann ein derart ehrgeiziger Plan überhaupt gelingen?

gollark: Even non-cursive is annoying.

gollark: I can type 100WPM fine, but writing is very ææææææ.
