While in Qatar, I really wanted to look into the National Library of this country. It's so curious how they are doing...
And there are really a lot of interesting things here:
• A wide selection of both printed books (over 800,000) and electronic books (over 500,000), periodicals and newspapers, as well as special collections
• On-line access to a diverse collection of on-line resources
• Automatic book sorting system
• Interactive walls
• Terminals for self-registration
• Stations for self-return of books
