The document traces the history of libraries from the 1500s to modern times, highlighting milestones such as the growth of book publishing with the printing press, the establishment of the first public libraries in the 1600s, and the development of library science as a profession in the late 1800s. It also describes the emergence of common library departments like circulation, reference, and collections to help organize the growing number of resources.
Library education was initially a technical education that was acquired on the job. Practical work in a library, based on a good education in schools, was the only way to train librarians.
It took quite a long time to introduce library education as a subject and has been taught at different levels in the universities of the world.

Building and Managing Social Media CollectionsJason Casden
Presenters:
Laura Wrubel
Jason Casden
Presented at DLF Forum 2015 on October 27th, 2015.
As venues for discourse and creation, social media platforms such as Twitter and Instagram are important source material for scholarly research. Future access to social media data will allow researchers to develop historical assessments based on materials representing the voices of a large and diverse set of participants. Much of this critical and ephemeral content may be lost if cultural heritage institutions are not collecting and preserving it, yet creating and managing these collections presents challenges around collecting mechanisms, curation, legal and ethical issues, and preservation.
This workshop will include the following components:
• A review of technical tools for collecting and guidelines for selecting an approach that works best for your institution and users
• A guided discussion of ethical and legal considerations in taking on this work and parallels with established archival practices
• A review of some existing use cases of libraries' social media data collecting followed by a group discussion of possible community-specific use cases and needs for supporting services.
• A demonstration of possible archival collecting workflows using NCSU Libraries' Social Media Combine collecting system (which includes NCSU Libraries' lentil system for Instagram harvesting and George Washington University's Social Feed Manager for Twitter harvesting). Participants who wish to follow along with their own instance may install it ahead of time.
Participants will leave with an awareness of the major components of a new social media collecting program, including available tools, research use cases, ethical and legal considerations, supporting resources, as well as a better understanding of how to integrate social media into existing practices and workflows. There will be opportunities to share collecting ideas with each other at the end of the workshop.
The Changing World of Libraries: Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project, will discuss the Project’s latest research about how people use technology and how people use libraries. He will discuss the implications of this work for libraries.

Parish to Public: The Surprising History of Scottish Librariesashggray
Tracing the history of Scottish libraries from ecclesiastical and private collection to institutional, circulating, and subscription libraries, one would assume the Scots would have embraced the notion of public libraries. In reality? Not so much.
The purpose of the 3 Wiki assignments is to familiarize you with.docxoreo10
The purpose of the 3 Wiki assignments is to familiarize you with a "new" methodology of studying history ("new" because this is my own creation). In my lifetime of studying the past, I have seen certain reoccurring "themes” that help us understand the course of human events in this discipline we call history. I have also provided here the list of historical themes. The general objective of the Wiki is to summarize an aspect of history studied during the grading period THROUGH the lens of a theme found in my list of themes. Example, if you wanted to write about Alexander the Great, you then choose to summarize the history of him through a theme, such as Power of Personality, where you might discuss his military leadership as conqueror of the world. OR you could talk about him through the theme of Pivot Points in History and talk about how he ushered in the Hellenistic Era and changed the political and cultural face of the world. Those are examples. You will choose 3 separate themes and write about 3 separate episodes from any of the history study during the grading period through the themes you choose. Look at the sample Wiki and see how they have formatted their 3 sections of the essay. For each theme you discuss, you need to quote your textbook OR an outside secondary scholarly source of your choosing once and ONE primary document found either in your ebook or from an outside source. (See further details about your sources below). Use a different primary document for each theme and history you write on. You must include a properly formatted Works Cited. These Wikis will help you learn to see history in terms of these themes. Some of these themes are quite self-explanatory and some are not. There are 20 historical themes and 3 Wiki assignments you are expected to complete in the semester - therefore there are NO REPEATS of themes in your Wiki posts. You will use a total of 9 different themes in the semester from the 3 Wiki Assignments.
For each Wiki Assignment, I want you to write a minimum 750-word entry (CONTENT ONLY - Works Cited DOES NOT count towards minimum word count) about 3 historical themes that you can extrapolate from the subjects we have studied in that grading period in which the Wiki is assigned. EACH ENTRY PARAGRAPH WRITTEN ON A THEME MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 250 WORDS. So the math here is easy = 3 different theme discussions of 250 word minimum each yields a total minimum word count of 750 words AND 3 separate themes X 3 Wikis Assignments = 9 historical themes used in the semester. I expect to see original analysis, interpretation and rhetorical content.
REGARDING YOUR SOURCES FOR THESE WIKIS.
You are required to quote your textbook twice AND ONE OTHER outside scholarly secondary source once in each Wiki Assignment to support your analysis. You are also required to quote TWO of the primary documents from the Mindtap site for the textbook AND ONE OTHER primary source document of your choosing from an outside source to supp ...

2. Vatican Library (Vatican City, Italy - 1500)
In 1566, Italian painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo created
famous portrait called The Librarian.The painting reflects
the importance of the book culture and libraries during
this time period.The painting currently hangs at Skokloster
Castle in Sweden.
During the 1500s, book publishing houses gained
momentum with the introduction of the printing press
increasing the availability of books. Many of the beautiful
libraries of this period include contributions by Leonardo
da Vinci and Michelangelo.

4. 1600s-1640s CE
The 17th century marked the spread of free public
libraries. However many of these libraries restricted access
to approved citizens and most of the libraries were non-
circulating. These libraries often began with endowments
from local leaders or scholars. Receiving little or no outside
funding, they relied on donations. Theft was a constant
concern for many of the libraries chained their books.
1700-1724 CE
As libraries and publishing expanded into the
colonies, questions began to arise about the legal rights of
publishers and authors. In 1662 the Licensing of the Press
Act in Britain was the first step toward regulating the
copying of books.
5. 1725-1749 CE
While subscription and social libraries were
created for the benefit of a group of users, the
commercial circulating library was an enterprise
operated for profit. The customer's role was to simply
patronize the establishment.
1750-1774 CE
From royal libraries to diocesan libraries, personal
and small libraries gained momentum in the 1700s.
However, only those wealthy, educated individuals
with a passion for reading took the time and effort to
build a library. Wealthy and privileged colonists
around the world faced the problem of transatlantic
connections to acquire books.
6. 1775-1799 CE
In 1791, Thomas Paine (1737-
1809) published The Rights of Man .
This popular text defended the values
of the American Revolution including
the human rights of life, liberty, and
free speech, as well as civil rights
related to security and protection. He
outlined how a government could
provide for the social welfare of the
people and stressed the importance of
literacy and education for all. The book
sold tens of thousands of copies.
The French Cataloging Code of
1791 provided direction for librarians
cataloging the contents of collections
seized during the French Revolution.
Cards were used to record information
about each item confiscated. This
activity could be considered the
creation of the first card catalog.
7. 1800-1824 CE
Many national libraries began as royal collections,
while others were connected to monasteries or
university collections. National libraries are sometimes
connected with a country's struggle for independence
and reflect a young government's need to establish its
own identity. Regardless of their original, the
collections are often established with a combination of
donations and appropriations from conflict. Many
libraries were established during the 18th and 19th
centuries. However many national libraries were also
added throughout the 20th century around the world.
8. 1825-1849 CE
The publishing industry continued to grow.
Publishers and authors became increasingly
concerned about copyright issues. The Copyright Act
of 1842 in the United Kingdom repealed earlier acts
and provided future protection for the lifetime of the
author of a work. The act provided for a minimum of
forty-two years. At the 1886 Berne
Convention, copyrights were acknowledged among the
sovereign nations.
9. 1850-1874 CE
By the mid-1800s, countries around the world
were shifting from subscription and commercial
circulating libraries to public libraries. In some cases,
legislation was enacted to support the development of
public libraries. After the Public Library Act (1850) in
the United Kingdom, legislation was introduced in
many other parts of the world. Public libraries slowly
grew and gained momentum toward the end of the
1800s. Many of the same principles related to
promoting education and literacy can be seen in the
mission statements of today's libraries.
10. 1875-1899 CE
After the Civil War, an educational reform movement
spread across the United States.
This movement coincided with the development of
the library movement.
The photo on the right shows Herbert Putnam
watching students in the Reading Room at the Library of
Congress around 1899.
In the mid- to late 19th century, librarians began
holding meetings and conventions to discuss issues of
professional interest.
Specialty areas within the field of librarianship began
to emerge. Finally, the first schools for training librarians
were established.

12. Modern Library Departments
As libraries evolved, their need for organization evolved
as well. For that reason, modern public libraries began
developing variations of the following departments to
help maintain order:
Circulation: This department handles user accounts,
as well as loaning and returning and shelving.
Reference: This section is usually meant for
answering user questions or gaining access to specific
reference books. Books in this section are usually not
able to be checked out of the library.
13. Stacks maintenance: Those who belong to this
department usually have the duty of re-shelving
materials that have been returned to the library. Also,
this department reads the material in the stacks to
ensure that they are being classified correctly.
Collections: This department is in charge of ordering
materials and maintaining materials budgets.
Technological services: The technological services
department is usually in charge of cataloguing
materials, as well as developing and maintaining
databases to keep materials in order.
