DESCRIPTION
In its traditional sense, a library is a collection of books and periodicals. It can refer to an individual's private collection, but more often, it is a large collection that is funded and maintained by a city or institution, and is shared by many people who could not afford to purchase so many books by themselves. Modern libraries are places which provide access to information in any format, whether it is stored inside the building or not. This illustrated multi-volume dictionary includes not only the terminology of the various specializations within library science and information studies but also the vocabulary of publishing, printing, binding, book trade, graphic arts, book history, literature, bibliography, telecommunications, and computer science. This work is designed to be a comprehensive reference resource for library and information science professionals, university students and faculty, and users of all types of libraries.
