The Library of Congress
โTo further the progress of knowledge and creativity.โ
7. Fragmentation
Fragmentation into multiple sites,
domains, and identities is a major
problem. Users donโt know which
site to visit for which purpose.
Findability
Users canโt find what they need
from the home page, but most users
donโt come through the front door.
They enter via a web search or a
deep link, and are confused by what
they find. Even worse, most never
use the Library, because its
resources arenโt easily findable.

games until someone gets a larval cyst in the brain.โ

22. โThere is a problem in discussing
systems only with words. Words and
sentences must, by necessity, come only
one at a time in linear, logical order.
Systems happen all at once. They are
connected not just in one direction, but
in many directions simultaneously.โ

43. โThereโs a secret about MRIs and
back pain: the most common
problems physicians see on MRI and
attribute to back pain โ herniated,
ruptured, and bulging discs โ are
seen almost as commonly on MRIs of
healthy people without back pain.โ
44. โIf you want to accelerate
someoneโs death, give him a
personal doctor. I donโt mean
provide him with a bad doctor.
Just pay for him to choose his
own. Any doctor will do.โ
