A library is a collection of sources of information and similar resources, made accessible to a

defined community for reference or borrowing. It provides physical or digital access to material,
and may be a physical building or room, or a virtual space, or both. A library's collection can
include books, periodicals, newspapers, manuscripts, films, maps, prints, documents,
microform, CDs, cassettes, videotapes, DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, e-books, audiobooks, databases,
and other formats.

1. A book is both a usually portable physical object and the immaterial ideal or intellectual
object or body of representations whose material signs—written or drawn lines or other two-
dimensional media—the physical object contains or houses.

2. Periodical literature (also called a periodical publication or simply a periodical) is a category

of serial publications that appears in a new edition on a regular schedule.The most familiar
example is the magazine, typically published weekly, monthly, or quarterly. Newspapers, often
published daily or weekly, are, strictly speaking, a separate category of serial. Other examples
of periodicals are newsletters, literary magazines (literary journals), academic journals
(including scientific journals), science magazines, and yearbooks.

3. A newspaper is a periodical publication containing written information about current events.

Newspapers can cover a wide variety of fields such as politics, business, sports and art, and
often include materials such as opinion columns, weather forecasts, reviews of local services,
obituaries, birth notices, crosswords, editorial cartoons, comic strips, and advice columns.
4. A manuscript (abbreviated MS for singular and MSS for plural) was, traditionally, any
document written by hand -- or, once practical typewriters became available, typewritten -- as
opposed to being mechanically printed or reproduced in some indirect or automated way.

5. A film, also called a movie, motion picture, moving picture, theatrical film, or photoplay, is a
series of still images that, when shown on a screen, create the illusion of moving images.

The Berlin Wintergarten theatre was the site of the first cinema
ever, with a short film presented by the Skladanowsky brothers on 1 November 1895. (Pictured here is a
variety show at the theater in July 1940.)
6. A map collection is a storage facility for maps, usually in a library, archive, or museum, or at a
map publisher or public-benefit corporation, and the maps and other cartographic items stored
within that facility.

7. A print room is either a room or industrial building where printing takes place, or a room in
an art gallery or museum, where a collection of old master and modern prints, usually together
with drawings, watercolours and photographs, are held and viewed.

Rembrandt. Most large print rooms have an example of this print

8. A document is a written, drawn, presented, or memorialized representation of thought. The

word originates from the Latin documentum, which denotes a "teaching" or "lesson": the verb
doceō denotes "to teach". In the past, the word was usually used to denote a written proof
useful as evidence of a truth or fact. In the computer age, "document" usually denotes a
primarily textual computer file, including its structure and format, e.g. fonts, colors, and
images. Contemporarily, "document" is not defined by its transmission medium, e.g., paper,
given the existence of electronic documents. "Documentation" is distinct because it has more
denotations than "document". Documents are also distinguished from "realia", which are
three-dimensional objects that would otherwise satisfy the definition of "document" because
they memorialize or represent thought; documents are considered more as 2 dimensional
representations. While documents are able to have large varieties of customization, all
documents are able to be shared freely, and have the right to do so, creativity can be
represented by documents, also. History, events, examples, opinion, etc. all can be expressed in
documents.

Several common types of documents: a birth certificate, a legal

document (a restraining order), and a bank statement

9. Microforms are scaled-down reproductions of documents, typically either films or paper,

made for the purposes of transmission, storage, reading, and printing. Microform images are
commonly reduced to about one twenty-fifth of the original document size. For special
purposes, greater optical reductions may be used.

10. Compact disc (CD) is a digital optical disc data storage format that was co-developed by
Philips and Sony and released in 1982. The format was originally developed to store and play
only sound recordings (CD-DA) but was later adapted for storage of data (CD-ROM). Several
other formats were further derived from these, including write-once audio and data storage
(CD-R), rewritable media (CD-RW), Video Compact Disc (VCD), Super Video Compact Disc
(SVCD), Photo CD, PictureCD, CD-i, and Enhanced Music CD. The first commercially available
audio CD player, the Sony CDP-101, was released October 1982 in Japan.

11. The Compact Audio Cassette (CAC) or Musicassette (MC), also commonly called the
cassette tape or simply tape or cassette, is an analog magnetic tape recording format for audio
recording and playback. Released by Philips in 1962,[2] it has been developed in Hasselt,
Belgium. Compact cassettes come in two forms, either already containing content as a
prerecorded cassette, or as a fully recordable "blank" cassette. Both forms are reversible by the
user.

12. Videotape is magnetic tape used for storing video and usually sound in addition.
Information stored can be in the form of either an analog signal or digital signal. Videotape is
used in both video tape recorders (VTRs) or, more commonly, videocassette recorders (VCRs)
and camcorders. Videotapes are also used for storing scientific or medical data, such as the
data produced by an electrocardiogram.

13. DVD (an abbreviation of "digital video disc"[5] or "digital versatile disc")[6][7] is a digital
optical disc storage format invented and developed by Philips and Sony in 1995. The medium
can store any kind of digital data and is widely used for software and other computer files as
well as video programs watched using DVD players. DVDs offer higher storage capacity than
compact discs while having the same dimensions.

14. Blu-ray or Blu-ray Disc (BD) is a digital optical disc data storage format. It was designed to
supersede the DVD format, and is capable of storing several hours of video in high-definition
(HDTV 720p and 1080p) and ultra high-definition resolution (2160p). The main application of
Blu-ray is as a medium for video material such as feature films and for the physical distribution
of video games for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The name "Blu-ray" refers to
the blue laser (actually a violet laser) used to read the disc, which allows information to be
stored at a greater density than is possible with the longer-wavelength red laser used for DVDs.
15. An electronic book (or e-book or eBook) is a book publication made available in digital
form, consisting of text, images, or both, readable on the flat-panel display of computers or
other electronic devices.[1] Although sometimes defined as "an electronic version of a printed
book",[2] some e-books exist without a printed equivalent. E-books can be read on dedicated e-
reader devices, but also on any computer device that features a controllable viewing screen,
including desktop computers, laptops, tablets and smartphones.

16. An audiobook (or talking book) is a recording of a text being read. A reading of the
complete text is noted as "unabridged", while readings of a reduced version, or abridgement of
the text are labeled as "abridged".

tape and CD-ROM formats.

17. A database is an organized collection of data, stored and accessed electronically. Database
designers typically organize the data to model aspects of reality in a way that supports
processes requiring information, such as (for example) modeling the availability of rooms in
hotels in a way that supports finding a hotel with vacancies.
