What basic functions should a university library have?
3. 1 Provide special services for academic leaders.

One of the basic functions of university libraries is to serve scientific research. Colleges and universities have concentrated a large number of experts and professors with high reputation, profound attainments and great influence. Most of them are graduate tutors and academic leaders, and they play an important role in scientific research. It is very important to provide them with special services. In particular, information service personnel should strengthen the construction of expert database, understand their work habits and progress, and provide them with regular door-to-door service, telephone consultation and convenient and flexible borrowing methods to meet their needs.

3.2 provide special services for graduate students to write papers.

Doctoral and master students are high-level talents trained by higher education. To a certain extent, its level represents the teaching and scientific research level of the school, and it is also related to the international reputation of China's high-level talent training and education. Their dissertations can not only reflect their ability to apply what they have learned to scientific research during their study, but also reflect the development trend of frontier disciplines. Therefore, libraries should provide them with high-quality and high-level information services according to their needs. Provide them with enough information retrieval points, compile various special catalogues, provide secondary literature such as the latest periodical information bulletin, index and abstract, provide tertiary literature such as special review and book review, and establish a dissertation database, so that they can become an important research group in the field of scientific research in China.

3.3 Provide special services for teaching

With the development of the times, the country needs a large number of high-quality talents. As a university, how to cultivate the talents needed by the country is a problem worthy of attention, and it is also an important topic for higher education in China. Generally speaking, teachers who often use the library and have strong ability to obtain information generally have better teaching effect and higher evaluation from students. University libraries should actively provide characteristic services for teachers, not only by providing teachers with relevant thematic information on a regular basis through paper carriers, but also by disseminating dynamic information on the development and changes of disciplines to teachers in time through the network or other electronic carriers, establishing a professional information resource guidance library for teachers, improving teachers' ability to obtain and use information and enriching teachers' teaching content.

3.4 Provide key services for scientific research projects

Colleges and universities are generally led by the Ministry of Science and Technology to undertake some key scientific research projects. The "subject librarian" of the library should actively cooperate with teachers, deeply understand their needs, actively provide teachers with all kinds of information they need, and collect useful subject information from teachers. "Subject Librarians" can also choose relevant important topics as service items, go deep into them, follow up the service from project establishment to achievement appraisal, popularize more and faster scientific research achievements, and achieve good social and economic benefits.
