The document provides a timeline of important events in the history of American libraries from 1731 to 1967. It summarizes key developments such as Benjamin Franklin opening the first subscription library in 1731, the burning of the Library of Congress in 1814 and Thomas Jefferson subsequently selling his personal library to replace it, the Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862 establishing land grant colleges and academic libraries, and the establishment of the first library school by Melvil Dewey in 1887.
This document provides an overview of collection evaluation and assessment. It defines collection assessment as the systematic evaluation of a library's collection to determine how well it meets the library's goals and user needs. The document discusses reasons for assessing collections, such as adapting the collection to budget changes and enhancing communication. It also outlines types of assessment, including quantitative measures like number of items and qualitative reviews. Finally, it proposes using a "prism" model to evaluate a collection across dimensions of real/invented and personal/generic. The goal is to achieve a balanced collection that meets user needs.
This document provides an overview of the history and development of cataloging standards, focusing on Anglo-American Cataloging Rules (AACR2). It discusses the contributions of individuals like Antonio Panizzi, Charles Cutter, S.R. Ranganathan, and Seymour Lubetzky who helped shape cataloging standards. Their work influenced the development of AACR2 and future standards like RDA and FRBR. The document also outlines the collaboration between American and British cataloging rules that resulted in the first international code in 1908 and the eventual publication of AACR in 1967.
This document provides a history of libraries from ancient Sumeria and Egypt to the modern era. It describes how early libraries evolved from clay tablets and papyrus collections housed in palaces and temples for official records, to libraries in Greece and the great Library of Alexandria which had hundreds of thousands of scrolls organized by subject. It then discusses the role of monasteries in preserving knowledge during the Dark Ages by copying manuscripts by hand, the growth of universities and their libraries, the invention of paper and the printing press which increased access to books, and the establishment of subscription libraries and modern public libraries open to all citizens beginning in the 19th century.
VINITI was founded in 1952 in the former Soviet Union and is now one of the leading producers of scientific and technical information in Russia and CIS countries.

The Agricultural Revolution transformed farming from a labor-intensive practice with small land holdings and poor yields to a more efficient, productive system. It involved consolidating small farms into larger enclosed plots, improving equipment through machines, and adopting better techniques like crop rotation and selective breeding to increase output. These changes allowed far fewer farmers to produce much more food, supporting growing urban populations and freeing up workers for industry.

Kształtowanie się bibliotekoznawstwa jako dyscypliny wiedzy w okresie międzywojennym na podstawie biografii Kazimierza Piekarskiego i Aleksandra Birkenmajera.
1. Historia bibliotek
Przekazy źródłowe informują o istnieniu
bibliotek już w trzecim tysiącleciu p.n.e. (np.
biblioteki w Egipcie i Chinach). W starożytnej
Grecji za najstarsze uchodziły biblioteki
tyrana Polikratesa na wyspie Samos oraz
Pizystrata w Atenach, które powstały w VI
wieku p.n.e. Najsłynniejsze były jednak
biblioteki w Aleksandrii - biblioteka
Ptolemeuszów oraz biblioteka Serapeion
przy świątyni Serapisa.
2. Historia bibliotek
Biblioteki gromadziły dzieła
pisane od
najdawniejszych czasów.
Początkowo były zbiory
tabliczek glinianych
zapisanych pismem
klinowym (zbiór
znaleziony w Sumerze -
starożytna kraina leżąca
w południowej części
Mezopotamii, dzisiaj
południowy Irak), które
pochodza z 2600 r.p.n.e.
Na tabliczkach
zapisywano głównie
tranzakcje handlowe lub
4. Biblioteka Aleksandryjska
Biblioteka działała
od III w. p.n.e. przy
Muzeum
Aleksandryjskim
Ptolemeusz II
Filadelfos
przyczynił się
istotnie do
zgromadzenia wielu
znaczących
zbiorów.
5. Biblioteka Aleksandryjska
Ggłówną część opracowania zbiorów aleksandryjskich wykonał,
uczony - poeta Kallimach z Cyreny, który uporządkował zwoje
według działów głównych. Było ich prawdopodobnie dziesięć:
Epos i poezja
Dramat
Prawo
Filozofia
Historia
Retoryka
Medycyna
Nauki matematyczne
Nauki przyrodnicze
Inne
6. Biblioteka w Pergamonie
Bibliotekę w Pergamonie
zapoczątkował w drugiej
połowie III wieku p.n.e. Attalos
I (241 – 197 r. p.n.e.), który
gromadził na swym dworze
uczonych i artystów. . Syn jego
i następca Eumenes II (197 –
159 p.n.e.) zbudował na
zamku pergameńskim w
okręgu świętym Ateny Polias
wspaniały gmach Biblioteki,
którego szczątki odsłoniły
wykopaliska zainicjowane w
1878 przez Karola Humana
7. Biblioteki Rzymskie
Pierwszą bibliotekę publiczną
założył Gajusz Juliusz Cezar,
Rychła śmierć Cezara
przeszkodziła zrealizowaniu tego
planu. Azyniusz Pollio Zdobywszy
środki w wojnie illiryjskiej zakłada
w 39 r.p.n.e. na Forum Rzymskim
w świątyni Wolności pierwszą
bibliotekę publiczną. Biblioteka
była wyposażona w książki
greckie i łacińskie przeznaczone
do użytku publicznego.
8. Historia bibliotek
W niektórych
bibliotekach część
zbiorów jest wyłączona
z publicznego dostępu i
materiały stamtąd jest
wyszukiwany przez
personel biblioteki po
złożeniu zamówienia.
Oprócz samych
zbiorów często równie
istotnym źródłem
informacji są ich
katalogi.
10. Biblioteki w dobie druku
Zmiany nastąpiły w XV-XVI w., kiedy rozpowszechnił się
druk. W tym czasie powstały liczne biblioteki humanistów,
królów, możnowładców, zaczęły powstawać biblioteki
mieszczańskie. Okres reformacji bardzo wyraźnie natomiast
wpłynął na rozwój bibliotek miejskich. W XVII-XVIII wieku
niektóre biblioteki np. możnowładców stawały się bibliotekami
publicznymi, były szerzej dostępne i ogólnonarodowe (b.
fundacyjne). W Oświeceniu przy instytucjach naukowych
zaczęły powstawać pierwsze biblioteki specjalne. Wraz z
sekularyzacją zakonów księgozbiory, które się tam
znajdowały, zasiliły biblioteki świeckie.
11. Biblioteki w dobie druku
W XVIII-XIX wieku, kiedy nastąpił gwałtowny rozwój nauki,
zaczęły powstawać biblioteki towarzystw naukowych. W XIX
wieku i początku XX wraz z upowszechnieniem się nauki
biblioteki uzyskały rangę instytucji społeczno – kulturalnych o
charakterze publicznym. Biblioteki i ich funkcję stawały się
coraz bardziej zróżnicowane. Powstały i rozwijały się
biblioteki powszechne. Organizowano biblioteki narodowe,
parlamentarne, władz i urzędów. Powstają nowe typy
bibliotek specjalnych:
* biblioteki dla niewidomych
* biblioteki szpitalne
* biblioteki dla dzieci
12. Biblioteki przyszłości
W dzisiejszych czasach istnieje cos takiego jak „Biblioteka wirtualna”.
Nie jest to termin jednoznaczny nie występuje on w słownikach i
encyklopediach. Częściej natomiast spotkać można ten termin jako
„rzeczywistość wirtualna” określający sztuczny świat, stworzony
przy pomocy komputera.
Termin ten posiada wiele definicji jak np.:
-biblioteka zrealizowana w technologii wirtualnej rzeczywistości
-biblioteka istniejąca jedynie w postaci elektronicznego systemu
komputerowego
-rodzaj usługi sieciowej
-porządkowany według dowolnych zasad spis połączeń do dowolnych
zasobów w Internecie funkcjonujący jako metakatalog
-spis połączeń do zasobów sieciowych, opracowany według reguł
