I am very pleased to bring the Islamic Foundation Certral Library under
the automation Scheme.Modern age is the age of Internet communication.
Today’s busy people want to collect their necessary information by
sitting at home. To cater to their needs, it was decided to computerise
the Islamic Foundation Library under the running development programme
and this is done. As a result , the readers and the researchers will get
the opportunity of collecting day to day information about the world at
large.
In the modern World, the role library is very important in
socio- economic development as thousands of books are being published
every moment over the world and the library is the most appropriate place
for preserving these books. The library, in other, words is the store of
knowledge. Actually comupterising the activitesof the Libray i.e
automation is the easist way of disseminating this knowledge among the
seekers of knowledge.Not only computerisation of the library, steps have
been taken to construct a new building to the east side of the Baitul
Mukarram Mosgue to improve library services and extend facilitics to the
readers and researchers. Because in the present library building,
availability of space is quite insufficient.
At present, there are one lac books in the libarary on eight languages
such as Bengali, English, Arabic, Persian, Urdu, French, German and
Burmese. Besides, there is also Brail Quran for the blind in this library.
Almost all the commentaries of the Quran, writtrn in early and present
times and the famous six authentic Hadith books and their notes and
explanations are available in this library.In addition to the above
mentioned books on Quran, Hadith and Commentaries, there are many
books on history, geography, economics, philosophy, sociology, law,
theology and Islamic literature.
I wish success of the automation programme of the Islamic Foundation
Central Library.
