The Bavarian State Library is one of Europe's largest and most
important universal libraries, with unique stocks and collections.
In this publication celebrating the library's 450th anniversary,
the authors present a view behind the scenes of this "Treasury of
Knovwledge". Besides historical topics and descriptions of the most
important collections, the articles describe current issues and
future challenges - for example the whole issue of mass
digitalisation, the roles of net-based user services or library
marketing. There is also a detailed account of the Library's role
as the central archive and state library of the Free State of
Bavaria. As one of the most important collections of source
materials in the world, the Bavarian State Library is guardian of a
centuries-old cultural heritage and at the same time positions
itself as a modern, innovative service centre for the knowledge
society. A selected bibliography completes this anniversary volume.
