Current barriers to the construction of a universal digital library include:

The world encyclopedia, the universal library, already exists and is the world itself.

The conscious mind of God is yours to use, like a universal library; but each must enter through his individual door to read the records.

All of these must be scanned and then made searchable online for the public to use as a universal library.

So far, the universal library is a library without many books.

We are outsourcing the scanning of the universal library.

Third, the universal library of all books will cultivate a new sense of authority.

Finally, the full, complete universal library of all works becomes more than just a better Ask Jeeves.

The rest, the bulk of our universal library, is dark.

All new works will be born digital, and they will flow into the universal library as you might add more words to a long story.
