Nature and Functions of Library Science

Different types of libraries have evolved in response to different kinds of problems. The public library, the special library, and the research library, for example, all differ in this regard. Nevertheless, all libraries are concerned in one way or another with acquiring, organizing, and providing effective access to recorded information. It might seem obvious that, to understand how to improve libraries, one should study how people seek and use information. Indeed, much research is so directed. Nature and functions of library science are categorically portrayed in this book. The authentic information is organised in seven chapters. Students and teachers of library and information science besides the library professionals will be immensely benefited by the contents of this book.
