      <Paragraph>Logical libraries enable you to catalog collections of objects
		that belong to one or more object types. Libraries are assigned a family
		profile, and the type of objects that can be contained in a library depends on
		the family definition.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>Libraries are used extensively in the Document Management (DOC)
		module, in which libraries are used to catalog documents and manage vault
		areas. These libraries are assigned a specific family profile, and are referred
		to as document libraries.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>You can set up libraries to catalog other types of objects;
		however, no functionality is attached to libraries other than document
		libraries. Libraries can be subdivided into sub-libraries to set up a storage
		hierarchy for an organization.</Paragraph>
