The library's By the People initiative is up and running and releasing transcriptions.

It's one of two experimental extensions built by LOC interns this summer.

The library wants to "improve discovery and access across our diverse collections through transcription and tagging" by members of the public.

The strategy specifically calls out computer vision, natural language processing and and machine learning as potential future investments.

Early impressions indicate the site delivers on the Library's plan, if not all outside advocates' hopes.

A new report suggests that the agency might want to consider automated alerts for federal agency product releases.
