This is a software development mailing list.  This message is off-topic
for this list.

An appropriate place to ask this question would be on a library-related
web site or mailing list.  For example, the American Library Association
has a web page that answers your question:

  http://ala.org/ala/alalibrary/libraryfactsheet/alalibraryfactsheet7.htm

You can search Google for more information:

A librarian at your library should also be able to help answer your question, or find additional resources.
