About the Book

What do the "Sachsische Textilforschungsinstitut e.V." in Chemnitz and the "Ministry of Women's Affairs" in Wellington, New Zealand, have in common? Anyone thinking of women's fashion is clearly in possession of the powers of deduction, but not of the latest information: Both institutions maintain their own libraries, detailed entries on which are included in the new World Guide to Libraries. A total of 43,392 entries can be found in the new edition. From "Summer Institute of Linguistics" in Ukarumpa, Papua New Guinea to the Austrian National Library in Vienna: Libraries all over the World at a glance! This comprehensive, 2 volume reference work claims to document the library scene right across the globe ranging from smaller libraries with collections amounting to only a few thousand volumes / media right up to the big libraries with several million volumes. This work covers every imaginable type of library: From small, special libraries on the one hand, to institutions such as the renowned Goethe institute on the other, whilst treating special libraries of the most diverse institutions and university and national libraries equally. The scope of the Guide encompasses national libraries, general research libraries, university and college libraries with their sectional and departmental libraries, professional school and school libraries, public libraries, ecclesiastical libraries, Corporate or business libraries, special libraries maintained by other institutions, and government libraries from 201 countries. Reliably structured Within each country the individual types of library are clearly and systematically ordered and arranged consistently throughout the whole work. Individual libraries are not only found under their respective countries, but are also included in an alphabetical index of names at the end of volume two, which supplements the main section and makes it possible to find the information wanted on a specific library even quicker.
