Preservation Management in Libraries -A study

A library is a repository of the knowledge and wisdom of great thinkers of the past and the present. The documents of the libraries are the priceless heritage of mankind as they preserve facts, ideas, thoughts, accomplishments, and evidence of human development in multifarious areas, ages & directions. The very old records constitute a natural resource and are indispensable to the present generation as well as to the generations to come. Any loss to such materials is simply irreplaceable. Therefore, preserving this intellectual, cultural heritage becomes not only the academic commitment but also the moral responsibility of the librarians/information scientists, who are in charge of these repositories.
