Description
Libraries were once known primarily as storehouses of books. From their historical beginnings as places to keep the business, legal, historical and religious records of a civilization, libraries have emerged as center of information resources and services. They are considered as the collections of books, manuscripts, journals and other sources of recorded information. Although libraries have changed significantly in the course of time, especially in the context of emerging information and communication technology, their cultural and social role has not changed. They remain responsible for providing access to books, periodicals, and other media that meet the educational, recreational, and informational needs of their users.
