The role of prof. Todor Borov in the library studies of Bulgaria

Abstract

I will start my thoughts for the role of prof. Todor Borov in the library studies of Bulgaria with a sentiment: prof. Todor Borov and I were born under the same roof, though there is more than half a century amplitude in our age. An interesting glance towards the role of the father of the Bulgarian library studies casts in his report the literary critic Yuliy Yordanov. On the basis of thorough research and memories of Borov himself, told to the reporter and eyewitnesses, he interprets the theme as an opportunity for emphasizing on the tremendous work and mishaps, experienced by Borov in the battle with the routine in thinking and the bureaucratic machine in the academic circles.
