This is the first detailed scholarly history of libraries in
Britain and Ireland, first published in 2006. It aims to provide a
panorama of the great variety of libraries since the medieval
period, setting them in their social and cultural contexts and
interpreting their role as it has changed over time. Libraries of
all kinds are included, from monastic libraries and other
manuscript collections to the modern world of electronic
information. Special attention is given to the purposes of
libraries - in education, for professional use, for religious
purposes and of course for leisure and general reading. Large
libraries and small are covered, with examples from all over the
British Isles of how needs have been met. Each volume includes an
extensive bibliography of sources and secondary works.
