As in "if you cook, we will eat", or the other way around?

Who are these people at LoC?  Does their project have a name?

I think the best way is to digitize every book and give each page a
URL, like this, http://runeberg.org/pictswed/0219.html

We already know how to handle URLs, and it's only a matter of time
until we have scanned every book and newspaper there is.  I would
guess the task will be completed within the next 50 years.  Most of us 
will be around to see it.

So, I have a proposed solution and a time table.  What's your time 
table?
