However, the library management decided to change the rules from the first of January of the coming year. So, because of the innovations in politics, social network and increase the number of printed characters twice, the library will keep only records relating to political issues. In addition to increasing the available printed characters, increasingly, Twitter users began to post photos or videos and save them without the media doesn’t make sense.
