In recent years, with the sustained and rapid growth of digital publishing industry in China, the total revenue of digital publishing industry in China in 20 17 years exceeded 500 billion yuan. With the comprehensive promotion of digital library construction, the cultural needs of the public in information acquisition and digital reading have been greatly met.
There are more than 8 million real-name users in digital libraries nationwide. With the continuous development of Internet technology, especially the concept of "internet plus", library digitalization has gradually become an important trend of library development.
Digital libraries transmit digital information such as words, images and sounds through the Internet to share information resources. Any user with a computer terminal can browse digital information resources conveniently and quickly anytime and anywhere as long as he logs on the website of the relevant digital library through the network.
Compared with traditional libraries, digital libraries have the following advantages:
1. Enhanced interaction between users
Because the digital library takes the network and high-performance computer as the environment, it provides readers and users with wider and more convenient services than the traditional library. It has different functions and characteristics from the traditional library, and has made new development in collection construction and reader service. For example, in the process of reading, you can share and record your own reading experience when you approach, and you can also make a series of book friends who have the same hobbies as you and share each other's reading experience.
2. The forms of knowledge are more abundant.
From the perspective of document storage, the traditional library's collection carrier is mainly paper documents. Compared with digital library, it includes not only written books, but also audio books and animation video books, which makes children's learning style more vivid, learning effect more flexible and efficient, and knowledge display forms more abundant.
3. The book retrieval efficiency is higher
In the past, the retrieval problem before reading also troubled many readers. Although the system will display the location of the book, it is often difficult for readers to find the corresponding resources when they finally reach the location of the book. The digital library is not limited by physical space, and the reading materials that can be collected are not limited by space, so the resource search efficiency is more efficient.
4. Information transmission is more convenient.
Judging from the speed of information transmission, traditional libraries have fixed locations, and readers often spend a lot of time on their way to the library. Digital library can use the Internet to transmit information quickly. Readers only need to log on to the website and click the mouse to see the information they want to consult in a few seconds, even though it is thousands of miles away from Qian Shan, where the library is located.
5. Higher resource utilization rate
From the perspective of resource sharing, a book can be lent to many people at the same time through the server, which greatly improves the efficiency of information use. Moreover, e-reading library has no paper resources, which can reduce the utilization rate of paper and make reading more environmentally friendly.
