- Some Considerations of the Role of Scientific Libraries in the Age of the Scientific and Technical Revolution; An Essay and Approach to the Problem. Rozsa, George Library Research Library Role Library Science Library Services Scientific Research Special Libraries Technological Advancement The question to be examined in this essay is whether the practice of scientific libraries (including special libraries and documentation) can rely on well-founded and developed theoretical works or studies as regards the conception of development, the requirements of the scientific and technical revolution, its place in the social division of labor and the interrelationship between its components. And whether there are some questions relating to general educational policy, sociology and library theory, in short, to library philosophy which are raised throughout the world by scientific and technological development and economic growth. In the author's opinion, the answer to the first question is in the negative while it is in the affirmative to the second. However, the two questions are closely related, and the answers to be given and a thorough explanation of the problems involved is conditional upon long-term, multi-dimensional, and institutional research work on the part of the specialists. This study seeks to contribute to this research work by raising certain questions and outlining certain hypotheses. (Author/SJ)
