Description

Those of religion perhaps aside, the two most enduring institutions of civilisation are libraries and universities. Libraries rank only in part before universities because that is their place alphabetically. Chronologically, too, libraries are placed very long before universities. The 1892 ninth edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica--still a very useful resource--records that the earliest known library was an organised collection of clay tablets containing political and religious transactions in Babylonia in the 21st century BC, and which recorded the contribution of the dynasty and leader of the day. The very first library was thus a form of presidential or prime ministerial library, a collection for someone special. It was to be 3,000 fears after its establishment that the first discernible universities in Salerno and Bologna commenced in the 9th and 10th century AD. Libraries and universities do have much in common, apart from the fact that a true university without a library, or at least access to one, is implausible. They are educational agencies, custodians and disseminators of the record of human civilization in their own right.
