Really interesting to read over the highlights:

The LoC is a HUGE organization but reading this example makes me wonder what's happening there... " For example, while the inventory identifies over 18,000 computers currently in use, officials stated that the Library has fewer than 6,500. Until the Library addresses these weaknesses, its ability to make informed decisions will be impaired."
- niels_olson 10y ago> The LoC is a HUGE organization That's an interesting observation. From inside the federal government, the LoC seems also embarrassingly small. I'm guessing that between 18,000 and 6,500, the 6,500 number comes from the number of actual employees, and they have gone through 2 tech refreshes without de-accessioning the old computers. 6,500 is not that big for a government org. It's problem about average, maybe a bit on the big side if they're all under one roof, but not all-caps HUGE.
