Through digitising their collections, libraries are opening their treasures to the world. Scientists and students can benefit from access to world-class scholarly information and research data. Resources previously available only to those who could travel to the library can be accessed electronically by library users in the remotest areas. Information technologies have provided libraries with opportunities to improve and develop innovative services and to serve our communities in new ways.
Libraries organise, collect and preserve all types of information, knowledge, cultural and learning resources for the purposes of making them available to library patrons and the general public of today and tomorrow. It encourages innovation, creativity and a competitive economy. Knowing your legal rights as a citizen, being well informed about a medical condition or having access to the latest travel, weather or leisure information enables people to take control, make informed decisions and to exercise choice. Knowledge empowers people in their everyday lives and facilitates good governance and the development of democratic societies.
