On the website http://taher.freeservers.com is a short monograph entitled
_The book in Islamic civilization_. The author is Dr Mohamed Taher of
Toronto (formerly a teacher and scholar of library science in India and
Saudi Arabia). After a short historical introduction, the bulk of the text
concerns Islamic and Muslim librarianship, its history and the professional
problems and challenges facing its practitioners. There is a useful
bibliography at the end.
