Abstract

Purpose This article discusses the public library system in Morocco, compiling the available information tackling the historical background of public libraries and their early work and the system that has been adopted during and after colonial periods. The main purpose of the study is to shed light on the present situation of the public library system in Morocco and also to further identify some of the recurrent issues in the public library system in Morocco. Design/methodology/approach The authors relied on a literature review as a theoretical reference in order to study and extract the available studies done previously on the Moroccan system for public libraries. Findings Public libraries in Morocco face various issues such as lack of available data and research, lack of appropriate funds, education in the field of library and information sciences, low rate of reading culture within the country and the high rate of illiteracy, all of which obstruct the development of Moroccan librarianship. There is a necessary reform need and action in order to help in the development of libraries in the country. Originality/value This paper is the first paper that discussed the state of public libraries in Morocco and that draws and highlights the importance of public libraries in relation with the country's development.

摩洛哥公共图书馆现状
本文讨论了摩洛哥的公共图书馆系统,汇编了现有的信息,解决了公共图书馆的历史背景和他们的早期工作,以及在殖民时期和殖民时期之后采用的系统。这项研究的主要目的是阐明摩洛哥公共图书馆系统的现状,并进一步查明摩洛哥公共图书馆系统中经常出现的一些问题。设计/方法/方法作者依靠文献综述作为理论参考,以便研究和提取以前对摩洛哥公共图书馆系统所做的现有研究。摩洛哥的公共图书馆面临着各种问题,如缺乏可用的数据和研究,缺乏适当的资金,图书馆和信息科学领域的教育,国内阅读文化率低,文盲率高,这些都阻碍了摩洛哥图书馆事业的发展。为了促进我国图书馆的发展,有必要进行改革并采取行动。这篇论文是第一篇讨论摩洛哥公共图书馆现状的论文,并强调了公共图书馆在国家发展中的重要性。
