Abstract

After transitioning to settled life, humankind did not only focus on satisfying their basic needs but also felt the urge to produce, utilize, preserve and transfer knowledge to upcoming generations. This marked the beginning of a process which led to the systematic collection and preservation of knowledge and resulted in libraries. That libraries are as old as the history of humanity itself is testimony to the fact that seeking and obtaining knowledge have always been an essential human need. The process that started with the establishment of the first library in Nineveh before Christ continued with Assyrian, Babylonian, Hittite, Pergamon and Alexandrian libraries.
