A library is an institution that collects, sorts out and collects books and materials for people to read and refer to. As early as 3000 BC, libraries appeared. It has the functions of preserving human cultural heritage, developing information resources and participating in social education. Another function is to collect resources that people are unwilling to buy (or unable to buy) and provide them as collections for the public to use or consult. It can be run by public organizations, government agencies or private organizations.
Library is the external storage and selective transmission mechanism of social memory (usually expressed in written records). In other words, the library is the memory device and diffusion device of social knowledge, information and culture.
Document arrangement includes document classification, subject indexing, recording and catalogue organization. Document classification not only provides the basis for compiling classified catalogue and document shelving, but also facilitates library statistics, new book publicity, reference consultation and document retrieval. Document subject indexing is to reveal and organize documents with subject words according to the subject range discussed in the document content. Literature classification and subject indexing are important means to reveal the content of literature, while literature description is the main means to reveal the characteristics of literature form and content in a comprehensive and detailed way, which is convenient for readers to confirm a literature according to various characteristics of literature and obtain clues to the required literature. Librarians organize all kinds of items into a library catalogue in an orderly way (see the catalogue organization law) to reveal the collection of books in the library. Library catalogue is a tool to retrieve documents and the key to open the library's knowledge treasure house.
