| | Library - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The term 'library' has itself acquired a secondary meaning: "a collection of useful material for common use", and in this sense is used in fields such as computer science, mathematics and statistics, electronics and biology. |
 | | More recently, libraries are understood as extending beyond the physical walls of a building, providing assistance by librarians in navigating and analyzing tremendous amounts of knowledge with a variety of digital tools. |
 | | Elsewhere in the Early Middle Ages, after the fall of the Western Roman Empire and before the rise of the large Christian monastery libraries beginning at Montecassino, Islamic libraries knew a period of great expansion in the Middle East, North Africa, Sicily and Spain. |
