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.
