%0 Journal Article %T The Share of Preservation Issues when Planning a Library Building %A Marie-Th¨¦r¨¨se Varlamoff %J Liber Quarterly : The Journal of European Research Libraries %D 2002 %I %X Primarily and historically a library was a place where books or manuscripts were kept. Th¨¦kosˇ± means warehouse or storage area in Greek. But nowadays a library is more than a depository. It is also a place where you can read books and access the information they contain. In the case of a new building or of the rehabilitation of an old building it might also serve as a showcase for politicians or decision makers. Hence the necessity to combine preservation issues, accessibility and architecture. %U http://liber.library.uu.nl/index.php/lq/article/view/7664
