Dear All, The Unesco document "Libraries for all : how to start a basic library", brought to our notice by Dr Indira, is an excellent practical guide to be taught in our library schools in the beginning so as to give the students a holistic overview of the tasks ahead in the library profession. The list of options in decision-making, the practical hints on whereabouts and the logical sequencing of the sub topics make this document a good entry point for a new student of Library Science.
