The ANAS Central Library of Science (Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences) was founded in 1923 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
After the biggest Library in Transcaucasia was shut down for some years in 1920,[ contradictory ] Baku needed a new library. In November 1923, the ANAS Central Library of Science began as the office of bibliography of the Azerbaijan Society of Research and Investigation (Azərbaycanı Tədqiq və Tətəbbö Cəmiyyəti) or ATTC. It was supported by individuals including Nariman Narimanov, Abdurrahim bey Hagverdiyev, Taghi Shahbazi, and Hanafi Zeynalli. The founding director was Alexander Vasilyevich Baqriyin.
On opening, the library held 430 books and 1200 manuscripts. In August 1925, in order to prevent duplication, the library and the bibliography office became one, the Library-Bibliography Bureau. Hanafi Zeynalli (1896-1938) became the chairman.
Founded in 1925 under the leadership of Hanafi Zeynalli, the Central Scientific Library (CSL) has become one of the largest library and information institutions in the country for 90 years and has played an invaluable role in the development of science and training of scientific personnel. The Central Scientific Library was headed by SM Yahyazade, YITahirov, Nazim Akhundov, Rasim Kazimov, Mahbuba Hasanova, Amin Efendiyev, Aybaniz Aliyeva-Kangarli, Leyla Imanova in different years. [1] [2] At present, the director of the Central Scientific Library is Professor Mammad Aliyev. [3]
On January 4, 2003, the president, Heydar Aliyev ratified the 54th item of the Article 5 of the Charter of ANAS, giving the library the status of a scientific institution.
On May 5, 2014, a new library building was opened by the president. [4]
In 1993, the CSL became a member of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions. In 2012, ANAS SCL became a full member of the Association of Scientific Libraries, Council of Europe. The library provides a service for international book exchange. The library invites international guests and ambassadors to visit the library. The library also sends members abroad to study librarianship and attend conferences and exhibitions in other nations.
