1On July 4th, 988, French President francois mitterrand announced "building the largest and most modern library in the world", and the Galica Digital Library of the National Library of China is the concrete embodiment of this strategy. The special fund for the Digital Library of the National Library of France is 70 million francs, which is planned to be completed in five years. 30 million pages of documents and 300,000 frames of images have been processed. The object of digital literature is firstly the French literature in the 65,438+09 century, and then it is extended to the literature after the 65,438+09 century. For those documents that are still protected by copyright, we can solve them by signing an appraisal agreement with the publishing house and signing a contract with the French publishing union. The library pays the original author royalties for three years at a time. However, these books can only be read, downloaded or printed on the computer in the library.

At present, the library has completed the digitization of most French documents in the19th century, and opened the door of digital library on the home page of the National Library of France on the Internet. Readers can use these digital documents for free. This digital library provides readers with a very simple man-machine interface and convenient access. Readers can not only read and download the full text through the catalogue, but also select a chapter from the catalogue itself. You can also modify the original text directly on the screen, add sentences, comments and circle key points, and you can use the clipboard provided by the system to store, modify and print documents. According to a statistic of the National Library of France, 57% of the hundreds of thousands of readers who entered the digital library from the Internet came from countries outside France.
