Assalamualaikum and nice day to see you again...
In this second week I have learnt about Primary vs. Secondary Sources
Primary sources is materials that were created at the time the event occurred or materials created by those who experienced the event. These materials include letters, speeches, diaries, newspaper articles from the time period, interviews with people who were around when the event occurred, documents, photographs, and artifacts such as tools, weapons, clothing from the time period.
Secondary sources is materials that were created after the event. These materials might tell you about an event, person, time or place, but they were created by someone not from the time period. Secondary sources can include history books, school textbooks, encyclopedias, History magazines,
websites, and documentaries.   
However in Library Services
we have more in here if we need or want in library as
book lending, reading room,
printing, photocopy, information search, current awareness service, E-journals and multimedia collection.
In addition,
