It is said that over 745 miles of book shelves a t the Library of Congress. However readers are not able to check out any items from LC. All materials have to be used at the library. - that's understandable. The Library of Congress cannot afford to lose any its collection. But for the electronic databases, users should be able to access at home/off sites. It is VERY inconvenience for some users, especially for the special subject researchers.
The Library of Congress subscripts many databases that other libraries simply cannot afford to subscribe. As the leader of the library world, in my opinion, LC should open its electronic resources to researchers.
