E-MAIL: The Library of Congress, asli@loc.gov. The Library of Congress intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with IA Corporation, Emeryville, CA for maintenance services for two networked, optical-disk-based imaging systems which support the Congressional Research Service (CRS) and the Copyright Office at the Library.

The Copyright optical-disk-based system supports scanning of the approximately 700,000 applications for copyright claims registration that are received yearly by the Copyright Office and provides for image storage and output in the form of Certificates provided to applicants. Imaging workstations in Copyright provide for searching, retrieving, viewing, and requesting prints of the registration images. Both systems were custom-developed and provided to the Library by IA Corporation under prior contracts. NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENT IS AVAILABLE. SEE NOTE 22. (0154)
