+<h1>Loading Libraries</h1>
+
+<p>The core libraries are the class files located in the "libraries" folder.
+In most cases, to use one of these classes involves initializing it within your controllers using the following function:</p>
+
+<code>$this->load->library('<var>class name</var>'); </code>
+
+<p>Where <var>class name</var> is the name of the class you want to invoke. For example, to load the validation class you would do this:</p>
+
+<code>$this->load->library('<var>validation</var>'); </code>
+
+<p>Once initialized you can use it as indicated in the user guide page corresponding to each class.</p>
+
+<h2>Semantic Relevance</h2>
+
+<p>The pattern you will use when calling functions is this:</p>
+
+<p><kbd>$this</kbd>-><dfn>class</dfn>-><samp>function()</samp></p>
+
+<p>We've placed a high value on semantic relevance in the naming of our classes and functions.
+Here are some examples of function calls you might use in Code Igniter:</p>
+
+<p><kbd>$this</kbd>-><dfn>email</dfn>-><samp>send()</samp></p>
+<p><kbd>$this</kbd>-><dfn>input</dfn>-><samp>user_agent()</samp></p>
+<p><kbd>$this</kbd>-><dfn>benchmark</dfn>-><samp>elapsed_time()</samp></p>
+<p><kbd>$this</kbd>-><dfn>db</dfn>-><samp>query()</samp></p>
+<p><kbd>$this</kbd>-><dfn>load</dfn>-><samp>helper()</samp></p>
+<p><kbd>$this</kbd>-><dfn>uri</dfn>-><samp>segment()</samp></p>
+<p><kbd>$this</kbd>-><dfn>lang</dfn>-><samp>line()</samp></p>
