Hi all,

I’m conducting research at the moment about the volumes of digital data produced every day, and I came across this interesting quote from a June edition of Government Computer News (http://www.gcn.com/print/25_16/41069-1.html): “…the world churns out enough digital data to fill the Library of Congress every 15 minutes”.

This is the sort of quote we would find useful in illustrating the need to take action with the preservation of digital materials. I’ve been searching around for a more authoritative source that includes this quote, but I’m not having much luck. Has anyone come across the original report/document this information came from? Any suggestions would be helpful…

Kind regards,
