| description | It may seem really strange to compare or try to compare two different ages separated by thousands of elderly people, between the river of man in the beginnings of his civilization and composition and the nations and the age of man at the height of his greatness and his high and intellectual creativity, between a person who was worshiping the moon for fear of him or almost to him and between man The one who stepped on the foot of the moon’s moon and conquered his world, but went beyond it.
It may seem to some of us strange that we compare the libraries of man of the early ages and the libraries of people of this age, which introduced modern technology, mechanization, and electronic computers in every work of the library, regardless of the seven of us.
However, if we are certain that the human being of the fourth decade of the twentieth century will return the origins of his present civilization to a man who was three years before birth. And the roots of this civilization grew and grew up in that time when the people of those eras laid the first building blocks and the first principles of most of the current sciences, such as mathematics with its branches, medicine, engineering, chemistry and agricultural sciences. The Nile, then it will not be strange to compare these two ages in any field of knowledge, up to knowing the foundations and principles of current science and the common elements between them.
This research aims to define the common elements between the library in its modern concept and its work style and the library created by the Mesopotamian civilization and laid its foundations and goals like that of the rest of modern science in which people reap their fruits from those roots that were sown by the people of that ancient civilization.
I will discuss in the research the concept of the library, old and new, the nature of library materials and how to classify and present them in the form of reading services or information services with a study of the impact of each of them on the current library activities and systems, leaving the rest of the areas that can be addressed in another study such as building and managing old libraries and ways to preserve and protect their contents . |
