Library LIVE IATUL 20O6, js@rau.ac.za 51 Libraries over the centuries have been the most important way of keeping our collective wisdom. They were and still are a sort of universal brain where we can retrieve what we have forgotten and what we still do not know…..it is the best possible imitation by human beings of a divine mind, where the whole universe is viewed and understood at the same time. Umberto Eco Embedding and contextualizing information resources in the virtual learning environment
