2008-04-04
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 3, 2008--Terremark Federal Group, Inc., a
subsidiary of Terremark Worldwide, Inc., a leading global provider of managed IT
infrastructure services, today announced that the Company will be hosting the
Library of Congress' new interactive Web site, myLOC.gov, the companion to the
new onsite Library of Congress Experience that launches April 12. The Library of
Congress is the largest library in the world, maintaining over 138 million items
on more than 650 miles of shelves.
myLOC.gov, an immersive site with interactive features that mirror the Library
of Congress Experience in the Thomas Jefferson Building, will leverage
Terremark's Highly Managed Hosting, a service that provides high levels of
support and availability. The newly redesigned Web site will provide visitors
with a highly interactive and educational experience while also serving as a
central repository for engaging digital content.
"Technology and interaction with historical artifacts are crucial to engaging
the imagination and critical-thinking skills of young people, which is why this
partnership with Terremark is so important to our mission of making our
unparalleled collections more broadly accessible and creating lifelong
learners," said James H. Billington, Librarian of Congress.
The Library of Congress is expecting more than 3 million new user accounts on
myLOC.gov within the first year, with millions of physical visitors to the
interactive kiosks in the Jefferson Building, making Terremark's services vital
to delivering virtual hands-on interaction with the Library of Congress
Experience.
"The Library of Congress chose Terremark based on its reputation for delivering
top-quality services coupled with highly secure facilities - all of which many
critical federal agencies depend upon," said Jo Ann Jenkins, the Library's Chief
Operating Officer.
"We view the solutions we will provide the Library of Congress as a great
service to the nation and an opportunity to help bring the Library's vast
collections to the fingertips of Americans everywhere," said Manuel D. Medina,
Chairman and CEO of Terremark Worldwide.
The new Experience comprises a series of immersive exhibits exploring the Early
Americas, telling the story of the documents and words that created the American
republic, featuring the original library of Thomas Jefferson that founded the
Library of Congress, and showcasing the beautiful art and architecture of the
Jefferson Building itself. Highlights include Jefferson's original rough draft
of the Declaration of Independence with handwritten edits, Martin
Waldseemuller's 1507 map that was the first document to use the word "America,"
and the Gutenberg Bible.
"We are very proud to have the opportunity to work with the Library of
Congress," said Jamie Dos Santos, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Terremark Federal Group. "Our team is eager to play a key role in hosting
myLOC.gov, which we see as an extension to the many priceless collections so
important to the history of our country and to scholars the world over."
The Library of Congress Experience opens to the public on Saturday, April 12,
with celebratory programming from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Thomas Jefferson
Building, 10 First St., SE, Washington, D.C., 20540. The myLOC.gov site will
launch simultaneously. For more information on the Library of Congress
