2. Introduction I will introduce the topic with the following quote:-
“Libraries are not made; they grow”
by Augustine Birrell
As quote mentioned that libraries are not made but they grow of course it grows with its resources.
CD or DVD Rom is one of the resources which are the part of collections of any library.
To understand the subject we will analyze both techniques ie traditional & modern for the management of said resources

3. Traditional Techniques
Storage in plastic pouch
Entry in the register
For searching will go through the register
For circulation we will make an entry in the register
For reminder we will again check register
For stock again we have to check the whole register against the available stock
To conclude on traditional techniques my opinion is that the said techniques will consume more
time in managing such type of resources
