1. I don't think the reason why the library is left out in the cold is because the service is not good, because now the library introduces the theory of enterprise management, regards readers as gods, and provides readers with many necessary or even unnecessary services, even those necessary services are not very good for readers. There are also some services: for example, developing a mobile phone library, although the idea is good, the technology is not up to standard, the actual effect is far from what expected, and finally it will go away. The most fatal thing is that the publicity of the event is still not enough, which leads many people not to know such a thing.
2. Most libraries don't have enough funds. Libraries are public welfare organizations and cannot be commercialized.
3. From the reader's point of view, the view upstairs represents the views of many readers. It is inconvenient to go to the library and the borrowing procedure is troublesome. Secondly, the quality of libraries is uneven, and the phenomenon of incomplete collections is also very common (although libraries have carried out inter-library cooperation and inter-library loan to make up for these shortcomings, I have not seen much effect). Nowadays, the social competition is so fierce that people's physical energy consumption is so great. People who work from nine to five, basically every day of the week, have no energy to spend in the library! ! Even if you want to check the information, I think most people are still willing to sit in the air-conditioned room and look online. They won't go to the library because they are crowded with buses and sweaty.
There are more competitors and substitutes in the library. Originally, the bookstore had only one main competitor, but the network soon became a bigger or even fatal competitor, and it was obviously much more attractive to people. In this way, the original advantages of the library's rich collection resources are undoubtedly greatly weakened.
Do you want to borrow a book that you particularly like? Or buy it? Go to the bookstore if you buy it.
Summary: My professional teacher thinks that the lack of funds in the library is a big problem, but I personally think that none of the above is the most fundamental reason. The most fundamental reason is that the library has lost its core attraction and necessity to the original readers. In my opinion, the services that the library is developing now are all "small-scale", which can only attract a small number of people to watch the excitement, but not readers! For example, our teacher said that the director of a city library was moved when he saw someone coming to the library for breakfast early in the morning. Another example is: How many netizens in the country scold Ma Hua Teng and hack Tencent, but still continue to hang QQ and play CF. . . Really feel sad for the library ~ ~ ~
Ps: Although I study library, I prefer surfing the Internet with my mobile phone to going to the library.
