E-grāmata: Library and society (modern library in culture, education and research)

The wisdom of the East and the West abounds in references to books, from which miracles occurred. The miracle of Islam is a generous book, and the Bible mentions, for example, in the Old Testament, that there is no end to the books that can be written.The West bases its civilization in all its forms on the book. Carlyle even said, expressing the tendency to glorify books, "May the Lord bless Cadmus, or the people of Phoenicia, or any other creature who might have contributed to the invention of the book." If people in the East and West glorify Books, let alone they do not glorify their organization and work to coordinate them as a method of knowledge.The purpose of the chapters of this book is to introduce the functions of libraries to general intellectuals, educators, and researchers. It is not a detailed artistic treatment of the art of libraries, about which tens of thousands of volumes have been written in the West, but rather it is a social presentation of its importance for various purposes. It also seeks to introduce the art of libraries itself, mentioning such materials as it consists of, which is the art of selecting books.
