The library is the gateway to knowledge. It systematically collects, preserves and organizes literature information, and realizes the social function of spreading knowledge and inheriting civilization.
Library is the gateway to knowledge. This sentence comes from the first part of Manifesto of Public Libraries: The Gateway to Knowledge. This "declaration" begins with this, which shows that it is in the same strain as the "public library declaration" of UNESCO /IFLA and other "declarations".
IFLA Internet statement: "Libraries and information services provide people with basic methods, guidance and help to access the Internet, and they are also the gates of knowledge and information."
Librarians in China should agree with IFLA's core value system.
The work that the library is engaged in is mainly the systematic collection, preservation and organization of literature information. The general social purpose or social value of this work is:
Promoting the horizontal transmission of literature information: spreading knowledge. Effectively transmit the information collected, preserved and arranged in society and promote the spread of knowledge.
Promoting the vertical dissemination of literature information: inheriting civilization. Preserve human cultural heritage forever and let human wisdom and civilization be passed down from generation to generation.
