The reasons why sample books are not lent out are as follows:
1, because of the high price and limited collection, it is often rare. The two-month borrowing cycle will inevitably affect the study and utilization of other students.
2. Although its binding is exquisite, it is not firm and easy to loose pages; Although the content knowledge covers a large amount, it is not easy to carry. Frequent borrowing and turnover will accelerate the tension of books.
If it is lost, the loss amount is too large.
In principle, the advantage of not lending sample books is to protect the integrity of book varieties, meet the long-term needs of teachers and researchers in our school, and provide them with the protection of collection varieties; The disadvantage is that the number of books in the lending office is reduced, and the utilization rate of books is reduced, thus reducing readers' satisfaction with the library.
Sample stacks are stacks formed by the library taking a book from each purchased book as a sample. It is the location of the library's elite books. The sample stack is the most complete place in the library, which can fully reveal the collection.
Sample stacks are produced under the traditional collection layout mode in China. For a long time, its guiding ideology has always been the "collection" of documents, and "use" is only an auxiliary function. The purpose of library collection is to use, to hide for use and to hide for use. Otherwise, the value of collection will be lost, especially when modern libraries emphasize "use".
