Pakistan
is a developing country taking strides in various fields from
which libraries have found on the top priority because libraries
are the only source of knowledge and it lead the nations to
the development.
According to encyclopaedia Britannica, libraries are the collection
of printed and written materials arranged and researched.
Today libraries form an essential part of the chain of human
communication and prior to adoption of the process of recording
of knowledge.
It is a known fact that, libraries and documentation centres
have had important place in our civilization, it is very necessary
that the role of libraries should be appreciated on priority
basis. These are primarily important reservoirs of knowledge.
The libraries are the oldest means of communication of ideas,
and in present the term book is used in the general sense
as a “DOCUMENT” which includes in its compass
the records, journals etc. I would like to advise my friends
and students that they should pay their keen interest towards
the achievement of knowledge, which is possible with the libraries
because libraries are only the repository of knowledge.
