Scitus Academics 2017. Hardcover. New. 6 X 9 inches. The information age as compared with post-industrial society is characterized by the fact that it will deal with material less and less and with information more and more. Keeping up to date with changes in education is important for all of us but especially for those of us working in academic and public libraries. Libraries can leverage growing interest in active learning new media and information formats and technology-rich collaborative spaces within the higher education environment. To know when where and how to search and how not to discover the already discovered. For librarians it means that we have to supply our users with the information they demand in a form they want at the moment they need it and to a place they require it to be. What a library as an information institution may offer or what it wants to do is not the key. The key is what is demanded. Thus we are getting to libraries as such. The information society is undergoing stages of development similar to the developmental stages of the library�moving from the traditional library to the automated library to the electronic library and on to the "virtual" library. In this process its historical form main objectives and range of services are also changing quite dramatically. A traditional library is full of printed documents readers librarians and cases with catalogs. An automated library which provides access to its printed documents through its On-line Public Access Catalog OPAC and which has carried out a retro-conversion of its card catalogs is not physically equipped with catalog cases. An electronic library which is connected to the Internet through which it provides access to its digitized originally printed book collections in an electronic form does not physically keep shelves with books and periodicals.The aim of New Trends and Developments in Libraries is to discuss some of these new trends of library services. This is an innovative and practical toolkit introducing concepts drawing together opinions and encouraging new ways of thinking about library learning spaces for the future. Printed Pages: 272.

Due to the changing nature of librarianship resulting from the increasing amount of information available in digital format educating digital librarians has become an important agenda within library and information science schools. Collection preservation and presentation of digital information in all formats; development of systems linking the users to the vast print and online collections within a library and beyond; digital project management is vital for librarians. The digital content may be locally held or accessed remotely via Web-based services. A digital library is one in which a significant proportion of the resources are available in digital format accessible by means of computers and Webaccessible devices. Digital libraries are an emerging concept as today's libraries routinely provide information and services in digital form.

As the nature and role of libraries have changed in response to the new digital environment new applications and services have been developed. Digital libraries have unique characteristics that differ from traditional libraries and their approaches to information provision. The evolutionary view of digital libraries has been addressed by practitioners in the library and information fields. As a consequence educating digital librarians who are competent to work in the dynamic and complex digital environment has become a high priority.

It is local gateway to knowledge that provides basic condition for life learning and facilitates cultural development of the individual and social groups. The public library provides services to all irrespective of age sex cast religion education and social studies generally all users get the material relevant to their needs and requirements in the public library. The advent of information technology from the middle of 20th century has gradually changed the traditional process of information acquisition communication and storage. The society is transformed with new a paradigm which is regarded as information society or knowledge society. Along with the traditional form of reading material such as books manuscripts the new forms like microfiche CDs e-books etc. In a society of lifelong learning - whether of a formal or informal nature- public libraries will be nodes connecting the local learning setting with the global resources of information and knowledge. Public libraries must therefore be allowed to play a role of fundamental importance in the development of future systems of lifelong learning. The development of the information and communication technology has already laid the basis for the creation of information networks giving users even of small local public libraries access to the world wide sources of information. The public libraries also offer guidance and training in information search and quality rating of information sources. Thus public libraries are necessary if not sufficient prerequisites for a democratic knowledge society. The importance of the idea of the library organization as a social institution became so powerful that it also became a basic tenet of the library field the basis for what since that time has become one of the field's common assumptions that the modern library in and of itself the library as a social organization is the field's most significant cultural legacy to society. Libraries and other similar type of institutions collect process organize and disseminate information and knowledge recorded in document. Since knowledge and information are vital for all round development of human beings libraries and other institutions that handle and manage information and knowledge are indeed invaluable for the welfare of the society. Public Libraries Institutions and Societies is an immense guide for librarians researchers and practitioners. Printed Pages: 260. Scitus Academics hardcover

Akron Ohio: The Werner Company 1899. 103pp. plus twenty-five chromolithographs. Oblong folio. Original pictorial cloth. Corners bumped cloth edgeworn and spotted. Hinges weak. Internally clean and fresh. Wagner's lavish work contains numerous large chromolithographs depicting the history of the army of the United States from the American Revolution to the Spanish-American War with depictions of all. It also serves as a useful guide for identifying military dress throughout the first hundred years of the U.S. Army. The Werner Company of Akron Ohio was a leading innovator in new printing technology at the end of the century. According to McGrath the plates were created by combining the primary colors and sienna in careful mixtures allowing far fewer color stones than would have traditionally been used. "Not only are the plates technically interesting but three are from drawings by Henry Alexander Ogden" - McGrath. The result of this trichromatic chromolithographic technique while somewhat blotchy in appearance probably considerably lowered the cost of printing such a plate. Wagner's work was published in a one-volume edition which contained forty- two plates including seventeen of the U.S. Navy with accompanying text. It was also published in a two-volume set with one volume for the army as here and one for the navy. McGRATH pp.149 163 172. BENNETT p.109. The Werner Company hardcover
