Abstract

The Alexandria Library is well known, less known is the work of the International Friends. International friends’ groups have been set up with support from UNESCO. The original library’s origins and how it met its end are obscure. The rebuilding of the new library concluded with its being opened in 2002. An acquisitions policy is in place and materials are provided with support from Friends. looking to the future the library is hosting a mirror of the Internet Archive.

Summary

Alexandria Library

Öz ‹skenderiye Kütüphanesi iyi bilinir; daha az bilinen ise, onun uluslararas› “Dostlar” gruplar›d›r. UNESCO’nun bu gruplar için bir web sitesi bulunmakta ve kifliler ilgili olduklar› grupla, bu site arac›l›¤› ile temas kurabilmektedir (Friends Associations, 2004). Yap›lan ifllere gelince, örne¤in ‹ngiltere’de bir Dostlar grubu, British Library’nin koleksiyonunda bulunan 15.000 Arapça elyazmas›n›n yüklendi¤i mikrofiflin sat›n al›nabilmesi için para toplama üzerinde yo¤unlaflm›flt›r. In some countries they consist of librarians who like the idea of resurrecting the Ancient Library of Alexandria and can see it as a repository for many kinds of materials. This is the case in Norway where there is a strong interest because the architect of the Alexandria Library is the Norwegian company Snohetta. The nearest Friends groups to the Balkans are the Bulgarian and the Greek Friends
