In recent years, the provision of electronic readers (commonly known as e-books) outside the service of the domestic library more and more, the Beijing University Library, Jinan University Library, Shanghai Library has opened an electronic reader lending services. The library has started to borrow the electronic reader, this is a library in the digital era of a choice and exploration, but also for the vast number of readers to provide a chance to experience the new reading style. And for the industry development bottleneck of the e-reader manufacturers, this new market opportunity is also more worthy of expectation.
The Library frequently "electrocuted"
Technology has changed people's way of life, digital, networking, information has also changed the way people read, mobile phones, paper books, pad and so become the modern private library, they make reading easy. While the digital reading methods affect more and more ordinary people, but also affect the provision of reading services, more and more libraries began to improve the service model to adapt to the needs of the digital age.
It is understood that at present, the application of electronic readers in the library has two main modes. One is simply to provide the basic mode of lending the electronic reader equipment, that is, the reader through the external borrowing of electronic readers, you can read the electronic reader randomly pre-installed books, but also can download the network Book resources. As early as 2009, Peking University Library began to cooperate with Han Wang to provide university students with the books of the Han Wang electronic paper. It is understood that at present, similar to the Beijing University Library to provide electronic readers to borrow a few university libraries, in recent years, Jinan University Library, Changchun Normal University library has carried out this lending services, and this new reading experience has been widely welcomed by college students.
The other is a deep customization mode, that is, after the purchase of electronic readers, the development of customization, the establishment of the collection of resources and electronic reader of the direct link, so that readers can access the library through the electronic reader of the exclusive collection of digital library resources. In recent years, the Shanghai Library which has done more outstanding in the electronic lending has adopted this kind of depth customization mode, as long as the readers hold "Shanghai library card", they can borrow the relevant electronic reader in any library in Shanghai, and can log into the massive reading resource platform built by Shanghai Library, search their favorite digital books, Download the reading at any time. It is understood that the Shanghai library since February 2009 in the country pioneered the introduction of electronic readers outside the loan service, the loan rate reached 100%. Subsequently, the above figure gradually increased the service in this area, not only increased the number of borrowed electronic readers, but also in the product function and content on the promotion and expansion. For example, in content, from the mere provision of reading books, to present a collection of books, newspapers, network novels in one of the reading Web site and multi-media interactive electronic reader application services; On the functional level, electronic readers switch from keyboard control and electromagnetic stroke control to finger control, which is closer to the traditional reading experience.
Of course, in addition to the provision of reading services, electronic readers are also used in the library paperless office. According to the Han Wang Science and Technology Engineers, by the network server and the Han Wang paper composed of the Han Wang information real-time publishing system, to achieve internal information, official documents, announcements in time, fast, point to point issued. At present, the National Library has been used in this regard, the paperless Office system set up a graphics and text download module, as long as the users of the system, online real-time access to all internal information, announcements and all kinds of learning materials. As the information publisher, can also be managed through the background, according to the need to assign users to browse and download permissions. At the same time, because of the use of electronic paper with 3G function, so the real access is not limited by time, geographical constraints, greatly improve the office efficiency.
