NATIONAL LIBRARY: 60 THOUSAND CARD SYSTEMS DIGITALIZED

About sixty thousand card systems have been digitalized at the National Library of Armenia, Nune Manvelyan, computer division head of the library, told Panorama.am. “Until now the oldest have been digitalized together with modern literature dating to 2003,” Manvelyan said.

In her words, the digitalized catalogues provide only general data about books. They include information about the description of the books, location, author and short abstract. Manvelyan said they are planning to digitalize only card systems in the near future since the books are many in the library and it is impossible to digitalize them without card systems. “The National Library has about six or six and half million books and their digitalization is a huge work,” she said.
