Repository of Knowledge and Learning (Origin of the Libraries in the world)
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
The present paper reflects the history of Libraries. The traditional libraries were firmly rooted in the physical transfer of information and knowledge. People came to the physical space to specifically look at a physical item: information was defined by physical limitations. Libraries are now focusing to deliver the information in the digital form through web, Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) via Internet. The development of Institutional repository by innovations of information technology has strengthened the libraries. This is why modern libraries are now called the knowledge library or the knowledge temple. Such a dramatic switch from print collections to digital collections has an impact on library users and users’ perceptions of the library. This paper examines the ways in which information technology developments have changed the libraries over the last few decades, and speculates about further changes to come.
