Klappentext zu „The Meaning of the Library “
From Greek and Roman times to the digital era, the library has remained central to knowledge, scholarship, and the imagination. Generously illustrated, The Meaning of the Library examines this key institution of Western culture. Tracing what the library has meant since its beginning, examining how its significance has shifted, and pondering its importance in the twenty-first century, significant contributors - including the librarian of the US Congress and the former executive director of the HathiTrust - present a cultural history of the library. A landmark collection, The Meaning of the Library addresses the significance of the library - both physical and virtual - in the past and present, and will appeal to readers, librarians, and all who are interested in this vital institution's heritage and ongoing legacy.
